Thank you for your efforts, Viktor.

[...] I grant this font:
Sorry, I wrote wrong link.
This link gave me a 404, "Page not found".
Not sure why I got assigned to this bug. ;)
Apart from that, I have some questions (and maybe concerns). Let me address these:
1. What do you expect? Maybe I missed that part, but it's not clear for me. Could you clarify that?
2. Why is the above GH repo NOT accessible? Can it be that your GH repo is private? Having a private repo, but a font released under an open source license just don't work well together. It causes lots of problems, be it for you and your audience: * You exclude potential collaborators. * You don't get any feedback as most people won't know how to contact you. * You miss some cool automation features (although that can be done also with a private repo. However, it can add additional burden.) * People can't see any bugs and how they got fixed. * People can't download different releases and the source code (very useful for packaging). * People can't check which is the current release (or in Git terms, what was the published commit).
3. Where are the consumable formats? Publishing just the source code is not enough. Every font designer publishes their fonts in an format consumable by users. That is mostly OTF, TTF, or WOFF. With all due respect, this is your responsibility. :) (See also point 2 as you can do that automatically in GH.
4. Where is "the project"? Again, having just the source code is nice, but there are still some things missing. Those are not mandatory, but I think it would give a better impression about your work. For example: - purpose and goal of your work - contact information - a changelog of what changed in the font. - a font spec, preferably in PDF. That contains all available glyphs, some example sentences etc. so the reader gets an impression - some additional meta information, like which languages does the font supports, Unicode coverage
Maybe I missed some things, but it looks there there is no project, just a source code. Although I appreciate your efforts, maybe try to fix the above issues first and set up a correct project.
Hope that helps. :)
