Show HN: Coding Font – A game to find your favorite coding font

Nice! Suggestions:

-- make the individual fonts compete more times in randomized comparisons (one font should not win over a single other)

-- option to overlap the renderings in a canvas with bitmap difference (to highlight the differences in glyphs)

-- option to choose the text to be rendered, with syntax highlighting

-- upload fonts for further comparison (maybe through @font-face src URLs); edit the list of comparisons

This has a different colour theme than I normally use (I work in a bright space, so use a light theme), and when I tried the font suggested at the end I found it horrible. Ideally you'd be able to choose the colour scheme to match your current one because it's a large part of what makes a font work for coding.

A fun page! I agree that blind-testing would be important, especially having the name shown in red draws a lot of attention.

A possibly better method (but harder to implement) would be to show code snippets briefly, then ask a related question. This would test how well you can actually read the various fonts - as long as the samples and questions control for other things.

Not free on Google Fonts probably.

Nice idea. Ditch the font names until the end. Add Fantasque Sans Mono and Iosevka.
