Coding Font Game

This interactive tournament bracket lets you choose your favorite coding fonts in a head-to-head competition, ultimately revealing your top pick. A fun and efficient way to discover your preferred font style.

(We also maintain a website showcasing high-quality coding fonts.)

Wenting Zhang detailed in a recent newsletter (originally published on the Retool blog – link updated) how she built this entirely using Retool. This meant minimal direct coding; she leveraged pre-built components instead. This highlights Retool's core functionality: a UI library with readily available components for rapid development, further enhanced by seamless data integration.

Five years ago, building this coding font game would have taken days or weeks of manual coding in React or similar frameworks. However, the advent of no-code and low-code platforms, essentially libraries of pre-built functional components, has revolutionized development. These platforms can integrate with databases or APIs, providing a standardized interaction layer requiring minimal customization.

While the code snippets in the original post appear complex, they focus on essential functionality and user experience, bypassing much of the standard boilerplate code. This low-code approach is highly appealing. The "game" itself is ultimately an <iframe></iframe> embedding the Retool widget.
