- Added indefinite CDN (S3/CloudFront) caching for all assets (fonts) on all browsers (those needing CORS applied).

Experience

Codecube (Other amazing things)
The front-end of this page is entirely hosted on CloudFront's CDN. Deployment (via Grunt task) concats, minifies, tags (with file digest), and uploads the page to S3 with indefinite caching. This serves as an origin for CloudFront. All routes are handled client-side. [Note: The API appears to be broken and I do not currently have access to the back-end server to fix this.]
