Great concept and good implementation.

One bug report - The font selection scroll bar becomes hidden and un-clickable for me often in Google Chrome 30.

Thanks for the heads up. I work with @phawk so will see if we can get a fix out for this.
Also hidden in Firefox 25 for me. I'm constrained for vertical space on my netbook, which did make me think you could display at least a couple more typefaces at a time in the left hand menu if it wasn't for vertical space used up by the menu bar at the top, and the line with "$number typefaces"

Love the basic concept though.

Jesus this is absolutely brilliant.

Occasionally I do sites for my business partner and the endless tweaking of fonts to get them how he wants is a pita.

I can throw this at him and he can give me back the CSS, fantastic!.

Wow, thanks very much!
I like to think you are the aforementioned business partner.
Nah, Business Partner is a Mac user he's busy shouting at Mavericks.
Just observed a bug. I changed the font for one of the blocks, and it changed it for all of the elements.
When you change the style of an element, like a paragraph, it works like CSS and applies the change to all elements of that type. To add specificity, you have to give an element a class.

Really appreciate the feedback.

This has huge potential for us as a way of quickly making styleguides reducing both development time and designer QA time.

There are some important things missing, as far as I can tell though, like ... how do I make a list?

Thanks for the feedback. We're continually working to improve the product and lists, along with support for other elements are on our roadmap.
I see you have support for Typekit as well. Very cool.

This is pretty damn awesome, I have to admit. One of the big pains of working with web font services like Typekit is that you have to select a set of fonts beforehand, save the kit, change your CSS, and only THEN can you see a change. At best you can keep a handful of browser tabs open without refreshing them so that you can flip between them to compare. But this makes everything so much easier.
