Hey yes, I need to pay the hosting bill, nothing complex. I've been in holiday-mode for a full year so I didn't cared very much. But hopefully I'll get back to working-mode tomorrow or so (after the hangover... today is carnival in here) and get the house in order, star replying a gazillion emails, etc etc...
In the meantime you can download the source from Github and upload to any folder in your own hosting. I'm not sure but I think that the testing page needs zero configuration, so it should be easy to get it going.
Good to know Pablo is okay. Now if we can only find out what happened with Monika Bartels. I was beginning to think that alien abductors may be targeting the type design community.
@Michael Jarboe True, but that's assuming Alphabet agrees to take on the given project, plus it would probably cost more. And what if you want Bartels but they only offer Bonk? That said, good for them both!
Hello typedrawers! @PabloImpallari Nice to hear that Pablo will be online again! In the meantime, is there another website or Github to calculate the family stems?
If you are using Glyphs, there is a script called Insert Instances to calculate stem widths according to different algorithms that might be helpful until the site comes back.
I have a spreadsheet that calculates all the different progressions (Linear, Lee, Impallari, and Lucas), if you’re interested. You tell it how many instances/variants you want, what the min & max stem thicknesses should be, and it adjusts the ranges accordingly.

Thanks Hrant for the ping in twitter
Until then, Cyreal has a site based on Pablo's code, so if you don’t want to create something yourself:
Yep, a few days after the aliens gave us back Pablo, they also dropped Monika on Earth again
Glad she's found again as we had chatted in the past and I planned on getting her help with TT hinting.

See you next week

Alternatively you can host the code yourself:
