Congrats on the launch! I've used several font discovery extensions and so far Fonts Ninja is my fav for it's neat easy-to-use UI. Will there be any easy way to copy the color of the font with a click or some shortcut?

@jeswawa Thanks! I'm so glad you like Fonts Ninja :) Regarding copying the color, it's kind of a power user feature, but it's already there ;) Check this out: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/b...

Oh really loved it! As a former designer I can see the amount of work are involved on this, and how useful it's for web makers and founders. Hope everyone can see the same and wish you all the best!
Kostya Bolshukhin
@german_merlo1 very useful As a founder who just learnt to do some design, I use their browser extension a lot

Cool project! One of the features I miss so much is font pairings. Would be lovely if you could build this. My vote goes to you!

Congratulations on the launch team! This might significantly reduce the trouble of font pairing & discovery. Is there any addition on top of it, to actually get links to websites from where fonts can be downloaded?
Axel Corjon
Maker
@richa_chordia Thanks! We're still updating and adding links to either download fonts (when they're free) or links to buy them :)

I love this soo much. As someone who loves to build products, I often try to use different fonts to keep things fresh and Fonts Ninja feels like the ultimate place to find awesome fonts. Quick suggestion: It would be cool if you offer some filters like best for landing pages, best for books, etc.

@5harath Thanks! That's something we're working on for the next version 🤫

Hi, Can users contribute their own font collections or is it limited to the ones provided by the platform? Also, how does it integrate with design software like Adobe Illustrator or Figma?
Axel Corjon
Maker
@kyrylosilin We can only display typefaces when we have the authorization of type designers foundries. Therefore, we cannot let user add typefaces they own (except if you're the type designer, of course :) ) We're working on adding more feature to let users manage their own collections, but t'as for a future update ;) There's no integration with illustrator or Figma, it's only previews of the fonts for the moment. We're adding links to foundries's website when trial fonts are available. We're also adding links to activate the fonts on Adobe CC when available

I've used this product for many years and it is an excellent one. It doesn't always work perfectly but that's a function of OCR rather this product which is fine. Overall, I have found it very useful over the years and I'm happy to recommend it to others!

@frenchmajesty Thank you for your kind words. You'll find the new extension more reliable and way faster than the previous versions (and we're still improving all the time ). I hope you'll also enjoy the font discovery platform :)

Fonts Ninja is such a good extension for fonts, been using it for so many years ! Now that it becomes a Pinterest for fonts, well what to ask more ? This will be so much better than bookmarks. Thanks for this game changer 🙏

Rumana
Ahhh loooooveee to have so many font pairings in one place - sharing this w my team! I really hope the makers keep updating the fonts because it's an excellent resource for beginners. Is there a way to submit font pairs or that's not part of the plan?
Axel Corjon
Maker
@rumanaaah Glad you like it :) there's no way to submit font pairing for now (but you can make your own bookmarks boards and make them public if you want)
Zenda
Bookmarked! I didn't expect that I just discovered Fonts Ninja now. I will use Ninja to find fonts in the future.

@zenda1122 glad you like it! :)
Andriy Semenets
Congratulations on the launch! Does it have font pair matching? Ideally, you should be able to select a single font, and it can suggest which fonts play best with the selected one. Great work!
Axel Corjon
Maker
@semanser Thanks! We're working on this feature, it should be released soon :)
