I've spent the past few days refactoring a lot of insert-coin's code-- and it looks significantly better, I think: before, after.
It was a mess before, but things are looking a lot cleaner.
Right now I'm working on some better documentation (to replace that terrible excuse of a README) and multi-lang support. :)
You probably won't notice these changes, though, unless you install insert-coin yourself, or look at the code.
What you will notice, though, are the aesthetic differences. The biggest one is the change in fonts: before, there was this nice, pixelated font that fit with the aesthetic. Now, it just uses whatever Sans font your browser uses by default.
I changed that because the font has an annoying drag on load-time (and is really, ultimately, bloat). I wanted to know what you all thought about that bit— is the prettiness worth a few extra seconds...?

I don't think having a pretty font really matters, and I definitely don't mind whether it's used or not, but I think having a cohesive aesthetic (which the font contributed to) would probably be beneficial for, for lack of a better term, 'branding' and generally spreading and acquiring more users. Idk how important or valuable you consider that, but that's the best argument (at least, to me) in favour of keeping the old font that I can think of
