#2Fun to play. Any reason consolas isn't there?

#3Bug 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.

#4Would be cool if it was possible to run it as a blind tournament to avoid subconsciously choosing my current font (although it's still possible to just recognize it).
I ended up with my current IDE font (Fira Code) winning. Could be that I just prefer this font or I'd accidentally gone with a familiar option.

#5Seems to only feature free fonts available from Google Fonts (understandable). My personal favorites are the non-free ones: Apple's Monaco and Microsoft's Consolas.

#7would be good to add a light theme. i can't use dark themes because of astigmatism, so it's good for accessibility. nice idea so far.
fwiw i've tried so many fonts and nothing beats andale mono for me on macos. i always come back to it. fantasque sans mono on windows is nice too, i think its on google fonts.
