Rant: I hate PangramPangram's website (and some others)

That's it, I hate that site, if I try to pinch to zoom on my trackpad I get some scrolling on top of the zoom because all the modern jazz that powers animations also has some scrolling shenanigans.

If you wanna see everything they have easily, you're forced to a paginated view. You only get to see Aa unless you hover, you don't have an easy to scan list view, if something is part of a superfamily you have to enter that page and see the other versions of the typeface.

I'm fine with sites that are not 100% functional, after all, you can diferenciate them when browsing on directories like https://www.are.na/upstatement/foundries-fsiti-zqvdk it also gives you a sense of what they do, some are more suited for anti-design, and yet are somehow functional like https://www.fullautofoundry.com/ other sites have small catalogs of 10 fonts or less, so a grid view is fine. Some like https://lineto.com/typefaces while give you a lot of info, it overstimulates you displaying every single weight, with 4 columns, making things quite small and not easy to discern. Compare with sites like https://f37foundry.com/ also has lots of fonts, but families are grouped with the same color, you have weights behind just a click without having to jump into another page if you're not sure what you're looking for.

I know there are even worse websites, for example https://typotheque.luuse.fun/ problem is even greater as they group many typefaces just because they're made by the same person, but have little to do with each other, some parts are small paragraphs, others are just a single word. https://altiplano.xyz despite looking somehow functional, has some typefaces hidden under some family (I remember the browser company uses one of their fonts but you could never tell if I didn't tell you it's called "Millionare", go look for it) but for a foundry with so many "greatest hits" like PP I feel their user experience could be better.

Some other sites like https://www.fontshare.com/ are amazing, I see having such a big display size also has cons like scrolling, but on the flipside, you get to find out quickly pro features such as tabular figures, alternates and so on.

It's clear these wepages have been created by professionals, and I understand how much work it takes, I wish in the future I could create some webpage with all those features and more granular control, not just the avility to choose "geometric" but also subgenres like under geometric futura vs bayer's universal vs Microgramma/Eurostyle like and so on, like fontsinuse or the now defunct https://experiments.withgoogle.com/font-map which was a great idea, but having everything in a two dimensional map might not be the best and again just havin Aa is very limited, but again I'm going on a tangent. I started with foundries webpages to end up about font discovery sites.
