The Accordion Ninjas are a joke that appeared on the other site ten years ago that made me and maybe two other accordionists (and maybe an organist) laugh

Years later I started making button/badges which have never sold tons — they’re so deeply inside 🪗 — but make me smile every time I see them

@luke helped make #Tango Ninja ones last year which dig the joke even deeper, but again 😹

They use the fab Accordion #Font you can encode messages with!

Pour programmer, j’aime vraiment beaucoup la très joli famille de polices Monaspace (notament la version Radon), mais je viens de découvrir Atkinson Hyperlegible (qui a une version monospace), et on peut avouer que le nom ne ment pas!

Abseits jeder politischen Bewertung ist uns für die nächsten Jahre typografisch einiges erspart geblieben. Das 'Scharfe S' in Felßner macht keine gute Figur in den aktuellen Überschriften. Wenn man es wirklich verwenden muss sieht man, wie viele Schriftarten diese Letter nur als Stiefkind aufgenommen haben – wenn überhaupt.

> Never do pixel math with `em` and `rem` units. That’s where we went wrong, by assuming that `16px == 1em` is a reliable fact.

It reminds me a lot of what I was pretty vocal about a few years ago, including “People don't change the default 16px font size in their browser (You wish!)” and “Users DO change font size”.

But I don't understand how this code…

Okay so I really like the Commit Mono #font at

commitmono.com

But that website is a usability *nightmare*: it has keyboard navigation using via JS to make it feel like you're using Lynx, which is all well and good...

But if you click too many times, it will block your clicks for a couple of seconds and flash a message "try using the keyboard!" because they really wanna show off.

Then I went to download the font and I'm met with "Safari download not working, try Chrome."

C'mon. Wow.
