Multiline?

Open ryanerwin opened this issue 6 years ago • 6 comments

Curious if you'll support newlines / multiple line at some point? For a typical landscape mode screen, 2-3 lines of text would get you the maximum size for the maximum characters on screen...

Or instead of newlines, maybe just use spaces to figure out where newlines go and have a checkbox for "linebreak on spaces"?

Just a suggestion. Love this utility.

Yea for phrases like "you suck" or "eat my shorts" mutline would be great, you can write more characters without sacrificing the satisfying largeness. You could use spaces " " as a delimeter

I usually use it for phone numbers, email addresses, or filenames that I want to read from across the room.

I've used this for displaying short answers to my friends in response to something they said. Phone numbers might be tight but yes ryanerwin for all those things you just mentioned I'm not sure how mutli line would help.

@lozzoc multi-line is useful when you want to display tweet sentences or shorter. A possible way to do it is to use TextFill or FlowType https://css-tricks.com/fitting-text-to-a-container/

Is this still being maintained?

@arjun-bhatt looks like a backburner project https://github.com/dbader/large-type.com/commit/bee339ad6a9f08c99e1f734dba7fefcc3ce8f4ab
