So I'm not great at picking fonts, you can tell that by seeing all of the websites I made.
What fonts do you really like and recommend me to use for my websites?

You can't go wrong with Montserrat
i hate monsterrat, its so wide it kills the elegance of any web app, my personal opinion :)
I hate your personal opinion it's so wide it kills the elegance of my personal opinion 😂

Roboto
Yea many people have said that
Besides the common roboto from Google I really like Ubuntu font package. It's elegant and clear.
Yea I like the Ubuntu font too
and for the terminal/IDE the Source Code Pro .
Yea I used to use Source Code Pro for everything before
Sans-Serif
Lexend
Severely unloved in my opinion for a slightly more "joyful" change from the same old Lato/Roboto, more structured sans fonts.
Serif
Gelasio
Metrics compatible with Georgia, but FREE.
Monospace
JetBrains Mono (Nerd Font)
Used to be Fira but it feels easier on the eyes and my preferred "g" style.
I’ll try these out!
For programming:
Previously, my favorite programming font was Times Prog, which was a bitmap font (this was in the late 1980s) based on Times but reworked to be programmer friendly. It was a proportional font. I used proportional fonts for programming for about 27 years — inspired by Bjarne Stroustrup’s use of proportional fonts for programming — until I stumbled across Fira Code.
Input is also a proportional font, designed for programming. I was happy to migrate from my ancient Times Prog to Input. Times Prog was great back in the olden days (when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, according to my kids), but with the advent of vector fonts just became too long in the tooth.
I switched back to a monospaced font (Fira Code) when it impressed me with its programmer friendly ligature support. Incredible! (I'm aware of the other programmer ligature fonts. Fira Code works for me best of the bunch.)
There about another dozen fabulous programmer friendly fonts, that are monospaced. I don't use them, but they're really good. Consolas, Menlo, DejaVu Sans Mono, Inconsolata, Source Code Pro, and others.
For documentation, it depends on what I'm using it for. I do like Times, Georgia, Futura, and Optima.
I’ll check these out
to name a few - Poppins, Montserrat, Raleway, DM Serif, Elephant.
When in doubt I always turn to these fonts 😁
Ralway! yeah I've been looking for a font with the extended "w", thanks!
ill try these out!
For IDEs and my personal documentation, Comic Code Ligatures. The Coding Essentials bundle is $30, but for me it's a small price to pay for something I'm looking at all day. I find it very easy to read.
