Dear fellow Product hunters
Iβm Axel Corjon, Founder of Fonts Ninja πββοΈ
Iβm really excited today to share with the ProductHunt community a huge update of our Chrome browser extension.
Fonts Ninja has been helping thousands of designers for years.
Our browser extension lets you precisely identify fonts on any website.
Our Fonts DNA algorithm identifies fonts and displays the real name of a font (avoiding wrong identification based on CSS declaration only).
You also can check font properties (size, letter spacing, etc.) and get more information about a font.
βοΈ We updated a lot of stuff, but the main new feature is the ability to bookmark fonts you discovered on websites.
You can now bookmark fonts and manage your bookmarks with boards... right within the extension!
π We also speed up the discovery process allowing the extension to be nearly twice as fast as the previous version... while still getting accurate font identification with our Fonts DNA algorithm.
I am super excited to be on Product Hunt today! I am available to answer all your questions π¨βπ»
@chrismessina Thanks for the hunt π We're working on having a font identification on images, still a lot a work to do, but definitely a feature that will be available :)
@visualintentau Same app, same maker (we just changed the lead dev) :) we just renamed it last year because the project is getting bigger and "fontface" was limiting it to webfonts :)
This extension so useful! It has completely changed the way we work with fonts, both in terms of benchmarking, of pure creation or even of front-end development follow-up.
@andreaswik awesome, glad you like it :) Also, WhatFont is just displaying font names based on CSS declaration, our algorithm is far more complex and gets way better results ;)
I use WhatFont but there are a things it doesn't show such as letter spacing. I find myself having to then use CSS Peeper or inspect the element to get everything I need. I am excited to give Fonts Ninja a whirl!
