Ilia Mashkov 9780ff9358 refactor(filters): mount-scope store bindings and fix effect-update loop
Replace the side-effect-on-import $effect.root in bindings with an explicit
startFilterBindings() started from an AppBindings provider in onMount, so the
filters/sort -> font-catalog bridge has a lifecycle tied to the app tree and a
returned cleanup. bindings now consumes getFontCatalog().

Fix the effect-update loop this surfaced: setGroups populated the reactive
groups array in place via `groups.length = 0; groups.push(...)`. push reads the
array's length signal, so the populating effect both read and wrote
groups.length each run and re-triggered itself forever
(effect_update_depth_exceeded). setGroups now reassigns the array (groups is
`let`), which does not read length.

Extract mapFilterMetadataToGroups to own the metadata -> group-config mapping,
including sorting a copy of options (the source is TanStack-cached data; an
in-place sort corrupts the cache and writes into the effect's read dependency).

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.
