[SITE] Try out WF without having to upload a font yourself

[RoelN]

...without you needing to find and upload a font first.

For example, add a button saying "Try it with Recursive!" where a copy of Recursive is being downloaded/supplied to the site automagically.

Add (open source) example fonts to try immediately. SEO BONUS: make result pages for many fonts, making WF show up if people search for info on that font :-)

This doesn't have the CORS issue that loading a font via URL may pose (although since the site can fetch files from random URLs as blobs rather than as page resources, CORS can be worked around, I think)

Did some 👨‍🔬experimenting🧪 but looks like CORS isn't circumventable. Which makes sense as that would mean a hole has been poked in the whole reason CORS exists.

Short explanation here. Yes, mode: 'no-cors makes the file load, but you can't access it from JavasScript. Why it does load the file (and presumably puts it in the cache) is a mystery to me, because what's the point? Either way, circumventing CORS from the browser looks like a dead end.
