Hey folks! Just popping in to say that if you were experiencing any issues with using Font Awesome today, those have been solved. Now you can get back to making something awesome!

Best line of thought from this one:
if a company asks weird, dehumanizing questions in the interview process, that may be the trailer for the full This Might Be a Bad Place to Work movie.

Hiring Is a Two-Way Street — Here’s What Most People Miss - Podcast Awesome Job interviews aren’t just about proving you’re a fit — they’re about figuring out whether the company deserves you, too. 👀In this episode, Matt chats with Font Awesome founder Dave Gandy about why hiring is a two-way street. They unpack the red f...

Job interviews are not one-way mirrors. You’re allowed to look back. New episode of Podcast Awesome: how to interview a company, spot hiring red flags, and find teams built on trust.

New Font Awesome Features: PNG Downloads, Color Picker, and User Blender | Podcast Awesome YouTube video by Font Awesome

Also, User Blender has big “this started as a fun side project and accidentally became super useful” energy, which is honestly one of my favorite categories of feature.

One especially nice detail: the color picker updates previews across search, categories, and kits, so you can see your icons in context without restyling them one by one.

Matt sat down with Ed and Frances to talk about 3 fresh Font Awesome updates:

This is a tough one... but we'll make it work.

Iconographic kitchen scene with an iced cake with a big bite out of it.

One day.

We didn’t add more ingredients.
We fixed the recipe.

Fast by default, calmer to maintain, and built to last after it’s baked.

Full reveal tomorrow.

Iconographic kitchen scene with a possum in a chef's hat with an egg and bowl

Three days.

You’ve got all the right ingredients, but shipping a website still feels harder than it should.

We’ve been working on a better recipe: fast by default, durable over time, so you’ve got a site that’s easy to tweak once it’s baked.

Iconographic kitchen scene with a chef's hat and eggs sitting on a counter. There's a marsupial hiding in the background.

Let’s say you’ve got all the ingredients to build an awesome site, the problem is the “kitchen” is on fire.

Welp, we're quietly baking up something new. Tools to build faster, sturdier websites that don’t go stale six months later.

Something awesome is coming out of the oven soon!

Graphite is a hit for anyone building “notes / learning / planning” UIs. ✏️📓
Hand-drawn icons change the tone of an interface instantly without rewriting a single word. What kind of site will you be adding these to?

“Icons were how I understood the world.”
I did not expect to get feelings from an icon pack episode and yet here we are.

The “open-ended icon brief” problem is real: unlimited options = the instant internal chaos train starts chugging along. Don't worry though. It'll be OK!

That’s why constraints are basically creative seatbelts.

Icons depicting eight phases of the moon.

One tiny quality-of-life thing we love in this release: the Free moon set includes aliases for light/dark contexts. 🌙
