On a design note, there is a really weird bug going on with the page in chrome. It looks like Montserrat is showing little pixel sized bumps on top of the smaller letters. I'm not quite sure why, I've never noticed this before with any other font and IE displays the page fine.
Thanks for the heads-up Chris! I'm not seeing anything when viewing it in Chrome, but I will definitely look into it.
Also, gray text on white background. Can't read it!
Sorry, Rohan!
Yeah, that's really hard to read. I ended up not reading it because I don't want to spend 5 minutes squinting first thing in the morning :)
You could just use the chrome developer tools to change the colour ;) But yeah I agree
I was about to suggest the same thing, reading was very difficult.
Thanks for the head-up, Sam. I'm going to dive into this and get this fixed asap.
Some kind of aliasing issue, goes away as you zoom in.
Is this a sign of a badly hinted font? At first I thought it was Chrome's font rendering problem[0] again, but it's rendering fine for me on Ubuntu/Chrome, and others here are seeing the problem with Firefox.
To be honest, I was expecting an accusation of some sort because of the headline as it sounded sarcastic. I was pleasantly surprised.
I didn't mean for it to come off as sarcastic, but I'm glad you were pleasantly surprised. I appreciate you taking the time to check it out.
I was less pleasantly surprised. It's become extremely common to write titles that are "clever" or that require context from the article to parse. That completely eliminates the most useful aspect of a title -- to give a hint as to the contents. If all titles were like this no one would have any clue what to click on and what to ignore.
Could we please be a little more boring and a little more straightforward with our titles?
Blogs are just catching up to dead tree media.
I just want to say thanks to everyone who took the time to check out the article as well as all those who took additional time to leave a comment both here on Hacker News or on the blog itself. This has definitely been a humbling experience and I hope to keep you all informed along the way. If you're interested in getting updated on Project Morph, I've posted an email sign-up form on ProjectMorph.com. Thanks again for all the kind words and support.
Leaves me wondering what the Project Morph is about though...
I am in the process of acquiring more skills to launch Project Morph's first product, and I will definitely do a follow-up. Stay tuned.
Same here. I'm looking for somewhere to enter my email to get notified.
I will work on adding an email sign-up on the page tomorrow. Maybe even throw in a little "Inspired by Kiro of Hacker News." Thanks for the head-up, Kiro.
Kiro, I've added an email sign-up on ProjectMorph.com if you want to sign up. Thanks for the interest and support!

Those are a few little nuggets of what's to come. Tommy Dowd was actually a social media campaign that I launched about 18 months ago that helped get record producer Tom Dowd inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
Get that email signup on there while you're still on the front page of HN, otherwise you'll miss a big opportunity
You live and you learn. I know I missed the opportunity, but I've added an email sign-up on ProjectMorph.com if you're interested.

It takes a lot of determination and creativity to bring an "imaginary friend" to life. I like the way you chose to describe the process (idea-to-product). Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for taking the time to read the article, Era86. This whole process has truly been humbling.
Good luck to you, it's always exciting and inspiring to see someone working hard to bring an idea to life. One of the main reasons HN is my compiling time entertainment.
Thanks, PrecisionCoder! I appreciate the kind words.
