I am super excited to share that I have rebuilt the Font Combinator!
This was originally inspired by a type specimen book that I had back in my print design days. It would let you quickly combine headline, subhead, and body copy fonts to see how they looked. That's what this tool does, using system fonts and Google Fonts.
I had built a similar tool years and years ago. It was based on a pile of jQuery and depended on a plugin for the UI. I lost interest in maintaining it, and just took it down for the last few years.
Recently I was able to re-build it, though, using Web Standards!
No framework
No build step or bundling. It uses ES6 imports straight up.
Uses Web Components
Specifically makes heavy use of styled select menus
Changes are tracked as query parameters so that you can copy & paste the link and send it to someone
It's literally an HTML, a CSS file, and a handful of JavaScript files. And it all just ... works.
And, now, I can choose to update it ... or not. It can stay pretty much as-is for years. Don't get me wrong, I have ideas for more features. But I have no dependencies to keep track of.
