When I cancelled my Adobe subscription, they said that I'd still have access to Adobe Fonts but it's not clear which fonts are only available via a subscription. (It says only 5500 of the 30k fonts would be available.)

I appreciate that Sara tracked down this post as it helps provide some context on what's really interesting about this library. I can see the scenarios where it can be helpfulālike infinite lists but ugh, I dislike infinite lists, too.

Congrats, I guess, on building a layout engine that is demonstrably worse, feature-wise, than what we already have to solve some edge cases you've run into. You sure showed those CSS zealots a thing or two.

I think I have become one of those people. I saw a comment from this person who complained they weren't able to get a straw or vanilla syrup with their cold brew and I thought "maybe you should go to Starbucks if that's what you want".

Appliance stores should let you demo the appliances before purchase. Like, let me bring over a load of laundry and see how well the washer and dryer actually works.

I used to have an app that auto-created contacts from IM, Email, and Social Media and hooboy that was a mistake. So many contacts of people I emailed 15-20 years ago. Cleaning up, I've gone from over 1000 down to 700 and I've only gone through half my contacts.
