I like the design, and good luck with your company! I couldn't help but notice the arabic on the page, so I Was wondering if you have seen the programming language قلب already. I love how you can stretch the arabic letters to do code formatting (makes me jealous that our alphabet is so limited when it comes to caligraphy/formatting).
Seriously, arabic rocks for programming:
* same reading direction as numerals (Heck, numerals ARE arabic)
* code alignment by extending words (WOAH)
* DUDE, IT'S ARABIC
So yes. I'm now gonna learn arabic just for programming. -hipster glasses-

P.S. : I couldn't help but notice that the designer of قلب pronounces قلب as alb. Whilst I'd expect it to be pronounced "qalb". Is this some dialect?
- sallar 14y agoThanks :) But we are Iranian and we speak Farsi (Persian). Farsi alphabet is similar to Arabic but they are not the same. This "Alb" thing is a interesting language though.
- _tristanthomas_ 14y agoEgyptian tends to pronounce ق as a silent letter. I don't know where the designer is from, but I'd guess that as the reason.
