Type-X in use (add your review here, if you find it useful!)
A bunch of user testimonials from Twitter
Eva Silvertant: “Did you decide to develop this further? It seems like a greatly beneficial tool.”
Mirko Velomirovic: “I use type-x constantly for proofing Construction sign WIP Construction sign. There’s something invaluable about being able to see your changes in context in near real time. Also who doesn’t want the confidence boost of seeing their favorite sites set in their type without the hassle of negotiating contracts”
Johannes López Ayala: “Wow, excellent tool. Looking forward to the Firefox version.”
Toshi Omagari: “Sounds like the exact kind of plug-in I’ve always wanted.”
Alanna Munro: “Yes! I use this for proofing in progress fonts in the browser with real content as well!”
Plau: “Use it all day everyday. Proofing custom fonts in client's own product is what it's all about.”
Justin Penner: “Thanks for building Type-X! I use it for immersive proofing when I'm working on a typeface. Auto-reloading would be my top feature request (I see there’s a GH issue already).”
Gor Jihanian: ”Type-X is incredibly useful for testing fonts on real websites with real content. It has become an integral part of my workflow…even have shortcuts set up to export font->switch to chrome->active type-x->load font”
Alessia Mazzarella: “I use Type-X every time I want to test my typefaces in the real world. Love it! Another round please”

I feel there'd be good use for site-specific filters, (e.g. for side-by-side comparisons)

I want to make a simple webpage for proofing fonts that has typeset text with different styles and weights and sliders for macro- and micro- typography ... most of the drag-and-drop testers only test a single style at a time..
I've just been running something like @arrowtype's Type-X on pages with already good typography but I wonder if there's something I can start with already...
