Your post reads a bit aggresive towards a use case completely fabricated within your imagination. However, it's quite different in reality.
I do graphic design and need a FOSS alternative to Fontbase, but also able to comply with technical requirements for dev teams.
Something like what I've described in my OP would be great for both dev and designer teams alike.
Also, if you try to be nicer to people, you'll help make the Fediverse a nicer place.
I was being aggressive, but not towards another poster, but the corporate bullshit culture that requires such a thing as an online repository for free fonts.
If you are collaborating with a team, you need to keep your work in sync.
What does this have to do with corporativism?
If designing fonts is part of the work, all you need is a versioning repository like a forgejo or gitlab instance.
