I went on the exact same quest. The answer is Belkin BoostCharge Flex. They have one version that’s flexible silicone and one that’s wrapped in braid. Check pictures and verify. The description on Amazon was this: Belkin BoostCharge Flex Si

Hey, Neil here. This one bothers me more than it should. :-( I posted the situation on Twitter: https://x.com/usgraphics/status/1889932074758578686?s=20

It's pretty minimal and straightforward written in Haskell. Probably can write one from scratch with Claude now.

Agree, I need to work on the full greek glyphset.

Yes, that's a typo. Need to redo the entire datasheet and possibly find a way to automate it using reportlab or some other PDF library. Right now, it is in InDesign and it is a pain to keep updating it.

Cyrillic is not supported so Berkeley Mono might not be suitable for your application. Are you building a Web app (Webfonts) or a Desktop/Mobile app (App license)? Please email me.

Hey, Berkeley Mono supports most Western European languages, can you tell me what's missing? I can add it. Btw, the tagline is about the aesthetics. :)

There is a ligatures explorer to see exactly how glyphs relevant to a particular programming language of interest would look like, with or without ligatures: https://usgraphics.com/products/berkeley-mono/ligatures

They already are part of stylistic sets. So, for example, if you download a combination of 0 and 7 (regardless of which one), there are ss01-ss06 stylistic sets that encode other options in it. The reason why we have a "font configurat

Idk about trial, but the full version has no issue with patching, try these instructions and see if it works: https://twitter.com/thorstenball/status/1629396583983853764

I also write Z and z with a stroke. And then someone on Twitter suggested we should add it as an option. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it despite of writing it that way! It’s coming.

Thank you! Website is going to get doubly refined soon. I’d like to develop a UI framework one day, but one that never ever changes in its core design. It just gets refined over time. I must say, it’s a real pleasure to design websites. Not

Woahhh, I've never played around with APL before. Such an interesting language: https://tryapl.org/ I think most of the glyphs are straightforward, the ones that would take time are the greek symbols. Unable to commit

Fair criticism about samples, launching new update and it'll have better samples. Also, you're welcome to download the trial—best way to see how it looks in your specific setup. I don't agree with your take on flourishes (in

RIP. As an ex-Intel employee, this one stings. He was a godly figure internally and even during Intel's deteriorating years, engineers and technologists looked up to him as a constant north star of inspiration and engineering culture.
