JRambo·13 years ago·discuss1 year ago, I made a simple online text editor and only shared it on HN.Now, over 2000 folks use myTextarea every month :)Last months analytics: 2,078 visitors 34.3% returning visitors 65.7% new visitors 61.9% search traffic 31.2% direct traffic 6.8% referral traffic
JRambo·14 years ago·discussThank you for participating.This little test shows that the best direction for sorting multi-column list items is vertical.90% of respondents clicked on the vertical second item in this 2 column list, 10% clicked on the horizontal second item.This result is in line with the telephone book argument and common sense approach of human eye movement (top to bottom).http://www.twitter.com/michelkusters
JRambo·14 years ago·discussThere's been an incredible amount of traffic today and 17.4% of you bookmarked myTextarea :)Thanks everybody!
JRambo·14 years ago·discussMaybe using this tool would make more sense when your browser window is already open, so you wouldn't have to open notepad whenever you want to:- type a note,- quickly save a code snippet,- convert rich MS Word text to plain text before pasting it into any cms' wysiwyg-editor.
JRambo·14 years ago·discussGreat feedback!A hacker mode including all the functions you mentioned might be a great idea, don't you think?
JRambo·14 years ago·discussThis is great. I`m a huge fan of PhoneGap. I'll check out Trigger for sure, hope it's just as easy!
JRambo·14 years ago·discussIndeed. Why would you pay for, and be dependent on, a service like this when you could quite easily make something like this? Running on your own server where you have full control.
