Font Awesome API outage (status.fortawesome.com)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by donuts@lemmy.world to c/technology@lemmy.world
 

~~Font Awesome is currently experiencing an outage, so many webpages will have a broken UI or even broken functionality if there was any tied to icons (ask me how I know)~~

It has been fixed. Back to work!

Figured I'd make a meme too:

And this is why you cache

Why the fuck would you call an external API for a static font?? O_o

Does it have something to do with paid plans?

Just download and host it yourself and no outage.

Looks like it's fixed now

For Vue definitely, but I assume for the other big js frameworks you can easily just make it so font awesome is bundled with your app.
