Previewing and comparing fonts side-by-side directly on your website?

Hey all,

Happy new year!

If you have been following me, you'd know that I have been working on a typography extension that allows you to preview your fonts live for sometime now.

Considering 80% of the website is just text, how you present your texts matters quite a lot.

Recently I decided to add and test a new feature called "multi-font compare" that allows you to see your website in multiple different fonts and compare them side by side, allowing you to copy the code for the one you like easily.

here's a demo on youtube (start at 0:19):

You can try it out yourself here (PS: use desktop version to view this pls)

The link to extension

let me know what you guys think of this new feature :)

    Pretty cool! Do you have any plans to add it to the Firefox addons store?

        Awesome, I'll add it once it's on Firefox.
