CSS Type Set is one of the projects I’ve been working on with friends, Travis and Tristan. The site serves as a hands-on tool for beginning designers and developers to interactively experiment with CSS in a WYSIWYG fashion. While similar concepts have been done before, our main focus was delivering a unique, easy-to-understand interface with instant CSS preview and output. When using the style controls, users are able to visually see how their entered text is affected and what code is used to achieve this specific look.
CSS Type Set went live on Wednesday and while we hope many will find the current version useful, there is already a list of additional features we’ll be implementing in the near future. Questions, comments, and suggestions are, of course, welcome.
Nice Work! What were your responsibilities on the project?

Thanks, Josh. Everyone was very much involved throughout the build but I mainly handled design and front-end development.

It’s pretty cool! I will definitely come back to use it again! Keep it up!
Note: once I clicked and maximized the color wheel I couldn’t minimize it. I could drag it though.

Thanks for the feedback, Nick. There’s a small white circle with an “x” located at the bottom right of the color wheel window. Click that to close.

Wow. Great idea and nice execution. Be using this as much as I use “Lorem Ipsum” in my designs.

Thanks Dean, glad you like it. Check back often, we’re already working on many enhancements for an upcoming revision.
