New: “Share” and “Remember Me”
News | Gustavo Ferreira | September 4th, 2009
Great achievements in type design demand a lot of work and concentration, but that doesn’t mean the design process needs to be solitary.
FontStruct is not just another font editor – it is special because it is built around the idea of sharing. FontStruct is a tool, but it is also a rich and lively community of designers who exchange ideas about type design and give feedback to each other.
The “Share” button
Today we are introducing a new “Share” button to make it even easier for FontStructors to share their creations with people outside the FontStruct community.
Popular social networking services – Facebook, Twitter, delicious, StumbleUpon, Reddit and Digg – are now just one click away, integrated into individual FontStruction pages.
Your friends and family are curious about what you have been doing all this time since you joined FontStruct? Now it’s easy to show them.
The “Remember me” check box
Preparing the ground for upcoming changes in the rating system, we are also introducing a small “Remember me” check box to the Sign In page.
Regular FontStructors can now use this feature to enter the website and start FontStructing (or voting ;-) right away, without having to sign in each time again. Note that we don’t recommend doing this on computers which you share with others — unless you want to share your account with them.

Enjoy, and let us know what you think.
Thanks for the constant improvements! Next time, it would be helpful to have direct access to FontStruct Live. If the tabs at the top were made just a bit narrower, a new one could be inserted between Blog and FAQ.

Looking forward to having the new rating system: nowadays ten-raters are a pain like one-raters were in the past! :)
Really curious about how the old ratings will be converted to the new system: I’m already prepared to tons of complaints!
