H-app-enings

And here comes the next milestone, 5000+ users aboard. Impressive ain’t it ? Of course we found another impressive happening in the ecosystem. We are getting to see some wonderful reactions, both brickbats and bouquets that are helping us provide you the app experience that you as the end user prefer it to be. Some serious bug fixes, feature additions all thanks to such interactions and more importantly, Typeface spotting and some new ideas on foundries/Typefaces. Stay tuned for more h-app-ening updates.

Why No Android Love?

Words can’t express our delight in seeing Fontli live and being so loved even in these early stages. Many of you have already shared corrections/improvements/features which we are attending and prioritizing for our future releases.

One of the most frequent questions raised to us is the lack of an Android app. The reasons for this decision are many. Firstly, we have a very small crew working on Fontli. Developing a stable app with a set of key features first was our priority. Considering the huge fandom Apple products have among the design community, we took the plunge to create an iPhone app first. We also had a deadline to roll out the app in three months. This would not have been possible if we were targeting Android too, considering the numerous hardware specs that we had to address to. Our decision to go next for WP phone comes from the pure admiration we as type lovers have for the Metro UI. We wanted to make Fontli an ode to the excellent Typography on a Windows Phone. Again, the strict hardware and device spec that Windows has will help us in rolling out the app quickly.

We love Android! We want to build an Android App too. But at this point we are a little short on resources to go in that direction. Our sincerest apologies to all Android Type lovers for keeping you waiting.
