Hey guys, seems the influx of traffic has resulted in some unforeseen circumstances; i'm still trying to figure out what's going wrong. Edit - Fixed, Cloudflare wanted some money :)

Variable Axis and other attributes are pretty feasible now, I'm already parsing the metadata for font tables values to dedup font files, so extending it should be pretty straight-forward. I'll investigate.

Oops seems like, enabled caching in the meantime. All the requests were hitting origin...thankfully I had cloudflare already doing the routing.

Haha, Just enabled an endpoint wide caching policy. Stale content, but should be a stopgap.

Welcome! So what I did was have setup a proxy server in cloudflare workers. proxy.yourdomain.com?url=websitetocrawl Now in the worker, I replaced all the external resources of a html (CSS URLs, scripts) via regex to also go through the prox

Just tried it, works great. I built something similar but for detecting fonts ( https://fontofweb.com ) Instead of spending funds using a headless browser you might want to look into crawling via an iframe and sending back the dat

This is a very interesting paper. Question though: it seems the cells gates since they're updated using a "global" gradient descent that it isn't truly parallel. Is there any promise towards a strictly local weight adjus

That's a difficult one, you would need information about the device and operating system to infer the font. But I imagine, if you realllly needed that info. You could go the hard route and render the font on a canvas, vectorise and per

I figured it out mostly from first principles. It's such a niche crawling method that was perfectly limited to my use-case, and there's alot to say. But the main idea is that you can inject a crawling script in the html of the sit

I'm working on a tool called Font of Web https://fontofweb.com that helps identify the fonts used on any website. It not only detects the fonts but also shows exactly where they're used (which HTML elements) and how t

I can't totally agree with your counter-counter example. Most non trivial problems are time bound, deadline exist, and no matter how well ingrained you are in first principles thinking you won't be useful if it takes months to com
