I *love* it! I hesitated to get into speculative details long-term, but for consideration: we want to eventually support push-tags where people can click on tags that are already set and vote up or down that tag. So, rather than a single comment-wide vote, each tag should be able to be voted up or down by people. Don't worry about the details, maybe don't even think about the design of that UI immediately, just keep in mind that we do want to fit that in eventually. Anyway, I like this a lot and would love to see this implemented soon! > > Looks great!

The "remember" version *assumes* good will and is exactly what it claims to be: a reminder. In fact, you only get to post freely after accepting the honor pledge anyway, so this is strictly a reminder, and I want it to come across with that feeling of "you know this, but just reminding you". The "matters" version feels like an insult to my intelligence, treats me with suspicion of bad will, and would become annoying much more quickly. > 3.

We have a small number of fonts, I carefully got them set up with our CSS already. All 4 woff2 files we're using for the design-relaunch are a combined total of 40KiB. The WOFF versions total 85KiB or so. More browers will support WOFF2 going forward, the latest already do. And only very old browsers need the TTF/OTF backup options which are still less than twice the WOFF size. I think it's fine to just go ahead, and not worry about this for now. If we used far more cumbersome and more quantity of fonts, we might have more issues. -- Aaron Wolf Snowdrift.coop <https://snowdrift.coop> _______________________________________________ Design mailing list Design@lists.snowdrift.coop https://lists.snowdrift.coop/mailman/listinfo/design
