Ilia Mashkov 6153769317 refactor(comparison): switch to 3-section render model via DualFontLayout
Rewrite Line.svelte to render leftText / windowChars / rightText regions
from a LineRenderModel. Bulk regions render as native shaped text runs so
the browser applies kerning and ligatures; per-char DOM is reserved for
the N-char crossfade window straddling the slider.

Slim Character.svelte: drop the unused proximity prop and the redundant
font-size/font-weight/letter-spacing styles now inherited from the line
container.

Switch SliderArea.svelte to instantiate DualFontLayout and derive each
line's render model via computeLineRenderModel(line, sliderPos,
containerWidth, WINDOW_SIZE).

GlyphDiff

A modern font exploration and comparison tool for browsing fonts from Google Fonts and Fontshare with real-time visual comparisons, advanced filtering, and customizable typography.

Features

  • Multi-Provider Catalog: Browse fonts from Google Fonts and Fontshare in one place
  • Side-by-Side Comparison: Compare up to 4 fonts simultaneously with customizable text, size, and typography settings
  • Advanced Filtering: Filter by category, provider, character subsets, and weight
  • Virtual Scrolling: Fast, smooth browsing of thousands of fonts
  • Responsive UI: Beautiful interface built with Tailwind CSS
  • Type-Safe: Full TypeScript coverage with strict mode enabled

Tech Stack

  • Framework: Svelte 5 with reactive primitives (runes)
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS v4
  • Components: Bits UI primitives
  • State Management: TanStack Query for async data
  • Architecture: Feature-Sliced Design (FSD)
  • Quality: oxlint (linting), dprint (formatting), lefthook (git hooks)

Code Style

  • Path Aliases: Use $app/, $shared/, $features/, $entities/, $widgets/, $routes/
  • Components: PascalCase (e.g., ComparisonSlider.svelte)
  • Formatting: 100 char line width, 4-space indent, single quotes
  • Type Safety: Strict TypeScript with JSDoc comments for public APIs

Architecture Notes

This project follows the Feature-Sliced Design (FSD) methodology for clean separation of concerns. The application uses Svelte 5's new runes system ($state, $derived, $effect) for reactive state management.
