Agents can search for design inspiration from production websites using semantic search. Since this inspiration comes from live websites, their design tokens; colors, typography usage, layout data are also available.

I understand that finding an excerpt nearly half a century old, from a little-known magazine and a little-known author, is bound to be challenging.

It becomes a question of taste. LLMs create exceptionally generic and inconsistent designs in the absence of curated references.

FontofWeb grounds AI in real production websites. It draws from a crowd-sourced search engine of over 1,000 live sites, extracting proven color and typography combinations, along with layout and styling patterns that already work in context.

This is available through a free public MCP service.

Would instead of the RL step a constrained decoding say via something like xgrammar fix syntax generation issue ?

Although this was in Nigeria, we have this certain camaraderie through hardship, it was still extremely surprising seeing a group of 6 men come out of nowhere, having nothing to do with each other aside being passerbys join hands, exerting sweaty effort to get my car out a ditch by 8pm.

Left me quite an impression

The idea is straightforward: I maintain a public-key whitelist. Consumers generate a key pair and send me their public key by email. That’s it.

Of course, this approach does place limits on the kinds of interactions or access patterns I can support, but in principle it works.

Still, the simplicity makes me cautious. When a solution feels this low-hanging, it tends to be one of two things: either it’s so straightforward that no one bothers to talk about it, or the pitfalls are significant enough that nobody uses it.

I'm curious how anyone has solved this

I built this because I needed dynamic image examples for a learning app, i'm working on. I wanted to load them using standard tags, which makes sending Authorization headers impossible.

How it works When a pin is to be saved, fow's server sends a client-side embed token, with permissions to call the vertex-api directly (through the impersonated access token flow), this returns a f32 512 dim vector.

I store this in a usearch vector db on my $15 VPS.

Usearch doesn't have runtime disk persistence, so I had to write a WAL wrapper around it.

What you can do

The perks of multi-modality is pretty fun: you can currently search for web design patterns via images and text, in combination with other filters - colors, font(s), domain.

Some examples to try:

https://fontofweb.com/search/pins?q=elegant+serif+blog+with+...

single fonts, pairings, or 2+ combos, e.g

https://fontofweb.com/search/pins?family_id=109

https://fontofweb.com/search/pins?q=&family_id=109&family_id...

color search/sorting (done in perceptual CIELAB space not RGB) https://fontofweb.com/search/pins?q=&color=%23ff0000

domain search (filter by site, e.g. https://fontofweb.com/search/pins?domain=apple.com, https://fontofweb.com/search/pins?domain=blender.org)

Appreciate your thoughts, scathe me, praise me, don't hold back, thanks for you time :)
