Show HN: Typecast – Design in the browser with Google Fonts
- deweller 13y agoGreat concept and good implementation. One bug report - The font selection scroll bar becomes hidden and un-clickable for me often in Google Chrome 30. http://imgur.com/6nohjWD http://imgur.com/6nohjWD
- paulmckeever 13y agoThanks for the heads up. I work with @phawk so will see if we can get a fix out for this.
- notahacker 13y agoAlso hidden in Firefox 25 for me. I'm constrained for vertical space on my netbook, which did make me think you could display at least a couple more typefaces at a time in the left hand menu if it wasn't for vertical space used up by the menu bar at the top, and the line with "$number typefaces" Love the basic concept though.
- noir_lord 13y agoJesus this is absolutely brilliant. Occasionally I do sites for my business partner and the endless tweaking of fonts to get them how he wants is a pita. I can throw this at him and he can give me back the CSS, fantastic!.
- ye 13y agoJust observed a bug. I changed the font for one of the blocks, and it changed it for all of the elements.
- paulmckeever 13y agoWhen you change the style of an element, like a paragraph, it works like CSS and applies the change to all elements of that type. To add specificity, you have to give an element a class. Really appreciate the feedback.
- cutcopypaste 13y agoThis has huge potential for us as a way of quickly making styleguides reducing both development time and designer QA time. There are some important things missing, as far as I can tell though, like ... how do I make a list?
- phawk 13y agoThanks for the feedback. We're continually working to improve the product and lists, along with support for other elements are on our roadmap.
- Kronopath 13y agoI see you have support for Typekit as well. Very cool. This is pretty damn awesome, I have to admit. One of the big pains of working with web font services like Typekit is that you have to select a set of fonts beforehand, save the kit, change your CSS, and only THEN can you see a change. At best you can keep a handful of browser tabs open without refreshing them so that you can flip between them to compare. But this makes everything so much easier.
