If every tech/design/software company would do awesome kickstarter videos like this my wallet would by dry by now! I loved it
Haha, glad you enjoyed, Samuel.
Hey, all!
Quick update - our team was blown away yesterday at the level of support the Kickstarter received from folks. it means a lot to see our community give so much support :)
We're fully funded, hit most of our inital stretch goals, and are not stopping there!
Dave just posted a Kickstarter update. In short, we need your help to determine what else we can do to help the Design community. I know things like Sketch and CC Plugins are on my list, but please share your thoughts with us and thanks again for all of the support.
Pledgerooni completerooni. Even if it was JUST because of the video.
The firm I works at LOVES font awesome. We'll definitely be pitching in.
Thanks fore all your hard work, Brian.
Wow! Thanks for the kind words, Jansen. :)
Superb job on a promotional video that I actually enjoyed watching entirely.
Thanks, Austin!
We had a bunch of fun as a team writing and helping to film that video. Glad we could make you smile. :) We're happy to answer any questions here as well. Just shout!
What an awesome video!
I'd be so grateful if they used a tiny bit of that cash to add a Strava icon sometime :)
Good suggestion, James. We're adding a bunch of brand icons to version 5, I'll put that one on the voting list.
I'm going to go ahead and hop on the bandwagon because this deserves it. Absolutely fantastic promotional video! You have my support folks!
PS. I've been pushing for a thin close (x) icon on GH for a couple of years now, if you could find a way to make that happen in FA5, I'd love you all the more.
Very excited. Best of luck.
Hey, Kyle! Thanks for the support.
We're looking at a potential stretch goal of adding different weights/styles of each icon that would be right up your request's alley. Stay tuned! :)
I love Font Awesome as well. I use it in every one of my projects. I pledged! :)
Instant pledge from me! Loved that video :)
Thanks, Jason!
The video. Oh my God. So good.
Yeah, we got carried away with the jokes and metaphors. :P
This is the best kickstarter promo I've seen. Perfectly executed!
Thanks much, Norm. We'll bring the same level of fun to the icons next. :)
The duotone stretch seems very doable. Great way of monetizing while keeping it open.
Yeah, duotone has been a technical and design problem we've been kicking around for a bit now. Glad to have a chance to crank on it for folks. Thanks, Joshua!
