    @leaverou @font.awesome Congratulations and congratulations, Dr. Lea Verou, that's awesome! @leaverou Congrats! I’m excited to see what you and the team accomplish. That is a stacked web components team.     👀 woooow what is going on at Font Awesome!? Hiring some _awesome_ people right now. I’m super excited to see what’s going on there.  @leaverou @font.awesome Hey, this is exciting! While you're there, do you think you can improve accessibility for people who have web fonts disabled, e.g., via Apple’s Lockdown mode? My web-browsing experience all too often looks like this… 🙏 @com @font.awesome My blog actually uses Bootstrap Icons since it was done before I switched to FA. I should redo that part now! What would be the ideal experience for you? What would you prefer to happen in that case? @leaverou @font.awesome The general trend in web dev has been to move to SVG-based icons, which are supported universally. FontAwesome has SVG support now, but many sites still use the font version, including parts of the FontAwesome website itself (screenshot). Ideally, users would be nudged away from using the font version. From skimming your blog post, it seems you might be in a role that could push for adoption of accessible icons?  @leaverou @font.awesome as a Font Awesome fan, and a backer of Web Awesome this is ... Awesome!   @leaverou @font.awesome comgrats Lea, great news! looking forward to read more about the journey @leaverou Congratulations on your PhD and the position!🥳 Excited to see what comes out of the amazing team at @font.awesome 🤩 BTW I guessed correctly 😅 |
