To declare "open source", you have to provide a way for the public to get access to the source code. But there seems to be none at least for the time being.

#22Cool work on a font, but this page is proof that google is turning the web into some kind of JSON for their app, Chrome.
Extremely sluggish on non-Chrome. Starts with a black blank empty page. Fans spinning. Takes way too long to load for just some text and some videos. Clicking a link does some SPA magic that takes me to another black blank page, and takes ages to load. Clicking back doesn't work anymore. I need to reload the entire page, again blank and waiting. Once done loading, scrolling is extremely sluggish.
Yes, there are probably some interactive widgets in there, but all that and much more has been done without bogging down the browser like you're running a 3D game on WebGL.
Oh, and of course reader mode doesn't work.

#24Since even after 2 hours nobody is discussing the actual font, let me tell you what comes to my mind when I read anything about Google and design: They got phone design right. I just can't get my head around it that even Apple, which is supposed to be THE design company, is making phones that can't lay on a table without wobbling like a barstool on a crooked floor. It just feels so broken to me. So detrimental to my…
I've just got a new Samsung and it's wobbling too. I hate this. Why can't they at least put the cameras in the middle? Or maybe horizontally centred? Or they could just put another bumper on the other side to make it symmetrical. I'm looking for a cover to balance this out, but no luck so far.

#25A bit OT: What's up with the mouse pointer on that page? Why on earth would a site that has "design" in it's domain name change my mouse pointer to a finger-sized circle blob on my 4K desktop screen?
Yeah I wish there was a way to disable such a useless gimmick.

iPhone 17 pro max is balanced with their standard case.

#27> It’s one of the most-served fonts on the internet, clocking in at some 120 billion font requests a month.
Isn't this an incredible waste of bandwidth? Surely people only need the font once.

#28I never come to complain about websites, but clicking on this thing made my chrome freeze for a whole second on my MBP. What has Google become xD

Original iPhone got design right. I don't think there's a single modern smartphone that I like. My latest favourite smartphone was iPhone 4S. No camera bump. Perfect size, fits well in my hand, operable with one thumb. Perfect display size, enough to present all information I need. Perfectly usable without ugly case.
> Perfectly usable without ugly case.
Why would you buy an ugly case and not a clean and well designed, functional one ?
If you liked the original iPhone design, getting a rounded and hand fitting case would be the go too IMHO (on the size difference, there's no way out at this point)

This flashed back so many of these comments, I unconsciously reached for the downvote button. Well done sir.
