Just fonts.\n- 😎 Google Fonts-like API - All you need to do is to change the hostname. Fontless has full support for the Google Fonts CSS2 API.\n- ☝️ It's yours - Fontless is open source and self-hosted. You don't have to trust a black box.\n\n## Motivation\n\nLet's be honest, we all know that Google uses Google Fonts to collect data. We give them our users data for free and all we want in exchange is a simple way to use webfonts. Fontless aims to provide the same simplicity, but for self-hosted fonts. The web-interface is built to be easy-to-use, even for less tech-savvy people.\n\nFontless aims to give you the same comfort you get from Google Fonts for self-hosted fonts.\n\n## Setup \n\n1. Visit start the fontless service\n2. Select the fonts you want\n3. Deploy to [Vercel](https://vercel.com) right from your browser or download the generated Fontless Service.\n\n## Usage\n\nOnce you have set up and deployed your Fontless Service, you can visit its domain and select the fonts you want to use. After that you can embed the generated `link`-tag in your application.\n\nYou can also migrate from Google Fonts to Fontless by replacing `fonts.googleapis.com` with your Fontless Service's hostname. Fontless has full support for the Google Fonts CSS2 API. \n\n## How it works\n\nFontless consists of two parts: Fontless Setup and the Fontless Service. \n\n### Fontless Setup\n\nFontless Setup is a webapp used to configure and deploy a Fontless Service. It periodically requests font data from [google-webfonts-helper](https://github.com/majodev/google-webfonts-helper) to provide an up-to-date list of all Google Fonts. After you have configured your Fontless Service, a `fontless.config.json`-file will be generated. After that the most up-to-date Fontless Service will be downloaded from GitHub. Depending on what you choose the Fontless Service and `fontless.config.json` will either be zipped and downloaded to your computer or they will be deployed to Vercel.\n\n### Fontless Service\n\nThe Fontless Service serves all configured fonts. It consists of two parts, a frontend and a serverless function, which implements the Google Fonts CSS2 API.\n\nThe Frontend is completely static and generated at build-time.\n\nAll fonts are downloaded from Google Fonts at build-time and are placed in the `/fonts` directory. The build-process also generates a `/fonts.json`-file which is used by the serverless function and for importing an existing Fontless Service in the Fontless Setup. `fonts.json` contains a list of all fonts and their variants including the paths where they can be requested.\n\n## License\n\nMIT © [Tobias Herber](https://herber.space)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fherber%2Ffontless","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fherber%2Ffontless","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fherber%2Ffontless/lists"}
