Bug report: on Chrome 95 / Windows, fullscreened on a 1080p display, the data-testid="RetoolGrid:container_question" element gets a dynamically-calculated translate3d transform that's not pixel-aligned, making all the text in the code regions extremely blurry.

Opening the link the iframe is pointing to helped for me: https://typogram.retool.com/embedded/public/1eb9acb6-fc70-44...

Example code should be changed to easily include lots of problematic cases: 1Iil, O0, etc.

I agree - I rejected quite a few fonts on account of insufficient distinction between 1 and lowercase L.

For me, it is not sufficient that I can distinguish between the members of problematic sets side-by-side: whenever you see one on its own, there should be no doubt which one it is.

Is it just me, or does it not appear to be working for anyone else? It just shows "You have chosen the winner" and none of the buttons seem to have an effect.

Edit: Clicking 'Restart Tournament' seems to spawn a worker that pushes my CPU over 100%. Open source your code, perhaps?

Very cool.

I also like coding with proportional fonts. I wish I could find some with coding ligatures.

[I've wondered if VSCode theming would allow for using a regular font for alphanumeric characters, and a special font (like Fira Code) for punctuation characters, so they can be displayed with all their ligatury glory.]

I think I'm missing something. When I click the link, the site loads for a bit and then presents a drum roll and a message that I've chosen a winning font? Both in a browser with tracking blocking and a clean Firefox mobile. @wentin did the site break from a hug or any idea what's going wrong here?

Looks like it broke from a hug. Tried in a few different browsers: checking console shows a tonne of 404s for assets.
