Wakamai Fondue, the tool that answers the question “what can my font do?”

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/24

What Can my Font do - beta pageVery cool web site that I only discovered last year, with the clever name: [Wayback/Archive] Wakamai Fondue, the tool that answers the question “what can my font do?”

Drop a font!
Fonts aren’t uploaded,
they stay on your computer

Back then I used it to investigate some properties of SMuFL (Standard Music Font Layout) fonts as sometimes editing a PDF is easier than manually entering/transcribing it in MuseScore.

Of course you can use local font tools, but this is far easier for occasional use.

The beta can do even more at the risk of bumping into bugs: [Wayback/Archive] Wakamai Fondue, the tool that answers the question “what can my font do?”

Note the colour matching of the text around the circle with the fondue background image.

Oh: it is open source too, written mainly in JavaScript, CSS and a tiny bits of HTML and Python, based on Vue.js and npm, and available as parts in the repositories of [Wayback/Archive] Wakamai Fondue · GitHub:

Today, very briefly, Tweakers.net leaked the WHY2025 badge: a Konsool/Tanmatsu remix with two ESP32s, a LORA module, screen, keyboard and sensors

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/24

The leak was short enough for Google to index the imagery and this text:

WHY2025 nam het zekere voor het onzekere door een ESP32-controller, een lora-chip en een kraakhelder scherm in zijn badge te verwerken. Tweakers …

Edit 20250727: two days later the page got reinstated without in their “Gathering of Tweakers” portion of the site a clarification why it was taken off-line for two days. It is still at the same URL, so I re-archived it: [Wayback/ArchiveBad] Dit is de WHY2025-badge met twee ESP32’s en een loramodule (need to re-archive in Archive.is as their IP got blocked)

The page now is a nice 404: [Wayback/Archive] Dit is de WHY2025-badge met twee ESP32’s en een loramodule

Not sure why the page got retracted, as the specs got released on LinkedIn a month ago at [Wayback/Archive] 🚀 Officially public launched: the WHY2025 Badge! | Jelmer Lopes Terto:

Important debugging strategy from b0rk: “after the bug is fixed: write a postmortem”

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/07/24

[Wayback/Archive] Julia Evans on Twitter: “after the bug is fixed: write a postmortem”

title: write a postmortem For very tricky bugs, writing up an explanation of what went wrong and how it was fixed is an amazing way to share knowledge and make sure I really understand it. Ways I've done this in the past: * complain about it in the internal chat! (so people can search for it!) * write a quick explanation in the pull request description * write a fun blog post telling my tale of woe! * for really important work bugs, write a 5-page document with graphs explaining all the weird stuff I learned along the way
