High five to Dave Gandy and the Font Awesome team:
The Font Awesome 5 Kickstarter raised $1,076,940 with 35,549 backers, making it the most funded and most backed software Kickstarter of all time.
What’s do the funders get? 1,000 more icons, icon font ligatures (a uniquely cool thing fonts can do, like turn “right arrow” into ➡, which can be an accessibility win), and, drum roll please, an SVG framework that will be open sourced.
