Font Custom's intended sweet spot lies somewhere between using a pre-bundled icon font and firing up a fully-fledged glyph editor. For the simplicity of using regular vectors, I think the lack of perfect pixel hinting could be a worthwhile tradeoff.
Unfortunately, I demand icon font being sharp at particular font size. Ideally, you could provide a set of eps/svg files with pixel grids and UPM (units per eM) generator setting for the desired font sizes (eg 16px, 20px, 24px). Is it possible?
When I hear about responsive design I always try to resize the window and see how the things rearrange. This one feels really slow during the resize, almost freezes the browser.
And just a couple of clicks have caused redirect loop.
Yikes, you definitely shouldn't be seeing redirect loops. Do you happen to still have the URL you got it on? We're doing some muckery with Varnish that may be causing that issue; I'd like to track it down and kill it!
We're working on minimizing reflows and improving the speed of any given reflow, as well. It's not where we want it to be yet, especially on lower-spec hardware.
The thinking behind that is that the really small nonprofits that we work with are generally relieved to find out that they can still use their domain name on their business cards and brochures and email and just forward the domain to their Bellstrike subdomain.
As a general rule most small nonprofits aren't techies, don't know the difference between hosting and a domain name and don't know what a 301 redirect is or that it's even possible. That being said, we'll certainly talk about rewording that so that it's clearer for the tech oriented audience and doesn't seem misleading. That's a pretty easy change :)
We do plan on offering a domain masking service like Flavors.me, Carbonmade, etc. where they won't have the need to do a 301 redirect.
Thanks for the feedback. We just launched today so we're glad to hear your thoughts so we can make corrections.
Plus the search engines won't index their domain, and if in some case they had to move away from your service (I don't say they should, as the service seems to be rather cool) then they would loose their presence in search engines. This is a kind of tradeoff they should be aware of in the first step.
Ability to have custom domain name will solve this problem.
It's a vague spec, and IE behaves differently than every other browser out there. It's vague enough that they added additional redirection codes (303 and 307).
I see your point. Although, I've been using 303 redirect for this purpose in my app after reading the specs, and haven't experienced any problems yet. So maybe you should consider switching to 303.
RFC 1945 and RFC 2068 specify that the client is not allowed
to change the method on the redirected request. However, most
existing user agent implementations treat 302 as if it were a 303
response, performing a GET on the Location field-value regardless
of the original request method. The status codes 303 and 307 have
been added for servers that wish to make unambiguously clear which
kind of reaction is expected of the client.
Are there any GIF loader generators that have all this options (speed, sizes, color) available? Could be good to use this as a preview, and then generate the final GIF.
Very interesting idea! I tried to think of the similar in Russia, but came to conclusion that there is nothing interesting to export subscription way, we are consuming only country.
The Soviet era is over. In my home town supermarkets are opened in the buildings of closed plants and filled with imports. Authentic Soviet artifacts are rarities.
