There have been several GDPR issues popping up lately with Google & Google CDN. So I decided to create a similar service just without logging ANYTHING. Note: It does not solve all the problems related to this topic, but it is a good start.
👋️ Hey, Product Hunt! I'm Andras, a Full-stack developer / DevOps engineer.
I love to do open-source side projects in my free time.
🎯 My mission with my side-project is to create open-source, self-hostable, privacy-focused applications and services for everyone.
Today, I'm posting an API service that is an alternative for Google Fonts. You may ask why? The answer is simple.
📰 All began with a simple article that I read over the weekend about the GDPR problems of Google Fonts. I started to look after an alternative service that respects users' privacy. I could not find any, so I decided to write one (under an hour!), and I hope it's beneficial for others!
⚒ Features:
- The API is the same as Google's, so all you have to do is change the domain from fonts.googleapis.com to api.fonts.coollabs.io, and that's all!
- API responses and fonts are cached with BunnyCDN. I choose them because they have an option to disable logging altogether.
🚀️ Future plans:
- Extend the API capabilities
- Support more fonts
- Add support for icons (not just Material)
Let me know if you have any feedback, feature requests, or bug reports. I'm looking forward to hearing your reactions!
Have a nice day and happy coding! 🙂
