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.

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.

According to http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html#sec10...

    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.

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.

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.

CSS Lint 15 years ago

I've been using paddings and left and right margins on inline elements and this tool tells me I can't.

Also, If you use css 3d transform in Safari or Chrome under Mac OS, then absolute or relative positioned text will be badly antialiased. To fix that you need to explicitly set background color for these elements.

For css -webkit-font-smoothing you may try between "antialiased" and "subpixel-antialiased", then there is css text-rendering: optimizeLegibility.

Also you should notice a bug in Safari for OS X that turns off antialiasing: http://seanmcb.com/typekit/webkit-antialiasing-test.html

Google has free webfonts that are already prepared for including in different browsers, you may consider them: http://www.google.com/webfonts, also there is http://www.kernest.com/.

FontSquirrel was already mentioned in this thread.
