Now, I understand that everything here pretty much works, and no complaints on performance, but every time I visit TypeDrawers, it feels like I'm time travelling a decade back.
Is a revamp an option? Making it more mobile-friendly(maybe a PWA?), a more modern look and feel for the UI, and so on and so forth? Does a revamp make sense?

(After stoically enduring the endless font ID requests under all possible sub-fora except for the Font ID Request page itself, the prodiguous amounts of unhandled spam, and necro-posts reviving decade-and-a-half threads on why Helvetica Neue does not suck.)
I think a redesign of typedrawers would be nice, but on the other hand I think it functions pretty well as is, and I foresee endless debate after/before/during the redesign, so I'm not sure it would be worth it.
Now, this really wouldn’t warrant a complete rewrite of the whole codebase, just some tweaks here and there.
@Jasper de Waard is right, it’d be impossible to get everyone on the same page for a revamp, but these basic improvements might be easier.
Others, thoughts now?
Design and mechanics work fine for me.
Agree that extended character set support would be nice. And the icons for flag, etcetera could be retina-friendly.
For everything else... if these things are easily done, then that would be cool. But I won’t be sad if some of these items are not changeable or are considered unimportant.
