I've been keeping a list of monospace pages: https://wonger.dev/posts/monospace-dump#web. Currently have ~50.

Spacing is a challenge. And you lose some legibility giving up proportional fonts. I think kerning in proportional fonts makes a big difference, letting your eyes recognize the shape of different letter groupings.

Monospace text is fine if you avoid long-form text, like when it's structured and highlighted in a code editor.

But it sure is pretty! Especially with Unicode charts and ASCII art.
