I like the font and was thinking about putting it on my blog, but $75 seems like a lot when there are other pretty good options. Maybe I'll test the free version and see if I love it..
Support Neil, he’s a good chap. I can’t wait for Houston!
Edit: for example the space between the ‘m’ and the ‘a’ in ‘machine’ seems very big.
The trial (license valid for 7 days) is "Limited to ASCII-128 character set" but also says: >Swapped: '/' and '\', '*' and '#' Is that latter a common sort of thing in this scenario? I get the idea—certainly makes coding/terminal/markdown annoying—but I don't think I've seen that done elsewhere.
This looks like a joke: “ DO NOT OPERATE ON CRITICAL CODE WITH THE TRIAL FONT. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES TO YOUR MAINFRAME SYSTEM OR OTHERWISE.”

It’s a lot compared to free, but it’s a steal compared to most fonts. Support Neil, he’s a good chap. I can’t wait for Houston!
I’m sure it’s cooking and will be done when it’s done, but the teaser really makes me excited.
super annoying web design from a graphic design company to show a typeface that purports its goal is to "get out of the way" so you can be productive, why not show some calm examples of text as in a terminal at a normal typesize? I had to zoom out to 60% just to tame it, and yet there was still blinking all over the place and nothing that approximated anything other than a phone screen. does something about this type…
$75 license. I assume they want people to be wow'ed by the unrealistic zoom shots, and pay money before realizing that it's little different from JetBrains Mono or Roboto Mono in a real-world editor or terminal.
On the contrary.

This sort of comment is why I have a love/hate relationship with HN. Love, because yesterday I learned some amazing stuff that I told my partner about in bed.
Hate, because of the assumptions that so many people are so quick to jump to. You know nothing about this guy’s motivations. (His name’s Neil. I’ve spoken to him. He seems like a really solid dude. He probably has thicker skin than me.)
So you come in here and you imply that this thing is essentially a scam to rob you of $75. You imply that Neil is a scammer, trying to rob you of $75.
It’s really shitty and I wish people wouldn’t do it.
Edit: I’m not saying “don’t criticise the site”. If you don’t like the site, say so. But don’t criticise the motivations about which you know literally nothing.
