Comment on From Gatsby gridlock to Astro bliss: my personal site redesignparent

Comments

Kyle is a great guy. Just to correct the timeline a little bit, I only created Fontsource after its predecessor, Typefaces (which was made by Kyle), was left abandoned when Gatsby took off.

I wouldn’t say he made Typefaces specifically for the Gatsby ecosystem, but he definitely had the hacker mindset for creating frontend tooling for a while.

Thank you for that correction! I had to google to find the name because I was fuzzy on it. Your last paragraph matches my recall. The point I was trying to make was that I appreciated that Typefaces wasn’t automatically part of Gatsby just because of Kyle’s affiliation.
