Hi Ernie,
to prevent this great list and approach and upcoming discussion from well meant but useless and ignorant:
“Great, can’t wait 'til you release it …”
allow me some notes:
####First things first:
I do love the way how you handle typography with care, brain, heart and attention to detail. This is unique in this landscape, showing your special power. This is design - at least one of the most important part of it.
####Templates in Freeway (or anywhere):
I’m one of the biggest foe of it and ever was and ever will (perhaps). Not by their existence, cause a framework is as well kinda template. And I do love frameworks and patterns. The way bigger problem is, that this leads amateurs to start with design, comparable to fill forms.
And that’s the entire wrong approach. A project starts by content! You can’t treat it like form-fields. And this is the magic breaker at all.
####The things I learned
Typography the way you do requires knowledge. As long as Freeway allowing us to fiddle styles within inspector, it’s a matter of five seconds to break well organized and so hard created proper styles. It’s something like:
“I want to change the blue color into green. Ah - found it, inspector yada yada”. Those lists usually start pretty harmless and end in … hm (Information for existing FreewayTalk / Groups.io users - Site Feedback - Softpress Talk just as an example).
Prevent yourself from this the best you can, we (and me specifically) urgently need you for more advanced things and stuff.
Oh did I already mentioned?
Great - can’t wait 'til you release it!
Cheers
Thomas
