Honestly I've gotten so much value from Font Awesome over the years that it was great to finally support the project – I have a feeling others felt the same way.

Same. Backing the pro-version was a no-brainer given how much I've used the icons in the past. It's such a good product I want to give them money even if it was free.

I love this. This drives me to do my own thing - a small thing - but I know that if I build it for the right people, some of those people will feel compelled to give me money for it.

Not all, I know, I know, but some. Some is enough. Some is marvellous. Some might be all I need to quit my regular day job, which is all I want.

Really appreciate the kind words!

Yep. I was really excited to see I could still get into the early backer Pro reward.

A little bit annoyed about the theme license price ($600!) but I guess I can buy that if it ever gets to that.

I am sure a very small price to pay if you are making money off Font Awesome.

Exactly. For 20 bucks I get to support them for their awesome font work, plus get some extra perks (which I already forgot what were).

Ditto. Plus the video was adorable.

My thoughts exactly! I just made my pledge, with the hope that they'll clear the $1M stretch goal.

$953,404. It looks like they will. I kicked in $20 because how could I not.

Yup felt the same and can't wait to get a whole bunch of new icons to use in my project.

same, backed the project as well.
