this is really fascinating considering that they package it as a npm package which is then used by jsdelivr which is essentially a free really low latency sponsored/(essentially operated?) by cloudflare and fastly etc.

I just checked and jsdelivr has had like 300 billion requests past month and over 16,813 TB

Really fascinating stuff. I will try to use this from now on! (earlier I was thinking of using something like coollabs.io but I checked its code and I see that the fonts are served through something like bunnycdn from coollabs side which is cool but still)

Honestly, what other things would be better off packaged as npm packages as I never thought that packaging fonts as npm package should make so much sense but here we are!

Bookmarked!!

My brain breaking because I don’t know if that comma denotes thousand or decimal in this context.

They have left a space in the website so like 16 813 TB as an example.

Knowing about npm / js I genuinely think that it might in the thousands in this context (I think)

Someone should confirm it I suppose

Wow

Insane to think about fonts and all this bandwidth.

Do you work for bunnyCDN? This sounds more like a sales pitch than a honest recommendation.

Not associated and not a customer. It was a copy paste from the page.

You don't need to use bunny when you can use fontsource with something like jsdelivr I think that jsdelivr is also gdpr compliant considering how much they are used, right?
