because twice as much code isn't necessarily twice as good a solution.

encho commentedWhat would be the difference between the two?
Comment #2
eMPee584 commentedwell signwriter uses a font to render a string and can replace block or page titles this way, i haven't looked at your module. I just see from the description that it might better be integrated with signwriter.
Comment #3
wilco commentedI have seen how Signwriter works. When I had started to develop the Dynamic_Image module (sometime over the summer), I was particularly disliking the methodology of Signwriter. Hence why I started my own.
I'll spend some time reviewing it further and decide whether I wish to deprecate my version or continue with it.

dman commentedWelcome to the Duplicated Modules Hall of Fame!
For sanity, I ask you to please consider :
I feel that the signwriter code needs to abstract its effect renderers a little more, but we really need to know what you disliked about it enough to start a competing (?) start-again module. Was it truly beyond help? Did the maintainer not respond to any constructive suggestions?
and what have you done better?
cheers, .dan.

wilco commentedClearly, signwriter does all and more than this module every could.
