Some Monospace Fonts I’ve Only Just Seen
I guess that’s what happens when you blog about something. After you hit publish you see and learn a bunch more about that thing that you wish you know before you hit publish.
What tools would you miss the hardest if could use NONE to build a website?

All the big players in the browser-makin’ world have announced their 2023 Interop project, following in 2022’s footsteps. One of the best things they all could be doing? Absolutely.
