- minus1 17y agoI like it. Some thoughts on the design: -Stack the controls vertically on the right. Center the "blank sheet" (to make it feel more like a sheet on a desk or typewriter). -Cut the half-sheet from the top (it felt a little crowded to me... not sure where to place your "just start typing note, but it might be nice to fade in briefly and then out). -Adjust the alignment on the header. -Lighten the page outline to #AAAAAA and shrink the drop shadow to 3px. Maybe it's too minimalist, but here's how I would imagine it: http://michael-kelly.com/minor-onepageperdaycom-edits http://michael-kelly.com/minor-onepageperdaycom-edits Good luck!
- grandalf 17y agothanks much for the great suggestions. I was thinking that the "half sheet" would be more like a 1.5" bit of the previous page, to minimally trigger the writer's memory of where he/she left off before... for subsequent pages it's what you ended on, not the starting note... I am in full agreement with the rest of your suggestions... btw I think the shading is a bit different on different computers, which led me to the larger drop shadow, etc. But I'll reduce it a bit and change the border color.
- pwim 17y agoWhy use periods between each word? I makes it look like a domain name.
- grandalf 17y agofixed.
- cj 17y agoNice. Some things to consider... -I'd be concerned with the privacy of my text -In what form is the reminder? -What am i supposed to write? Some examples (diary, fictional stories, grocery lists) would inspire my use of it. Those 3 points should be addressed on the homepage. A more pronounced signup/login link would also be good.
- grandalf 17y agothanks for the ideas. Out of curiosity, what could be done to make you feel more comfortable about the privacy of your text? Would a bit of verbiage help? Or would you distrust any cloud service?
- aeontech 17y agonice. although seems like pretty much the same idea as http://750words.com http://750words.com
- stevederico 17y agothis would work well with http://www.dontbreakthechain.com http://www.dontbreakthechain.com
- grandalf 17y agoyes! I was thinking of putting in a calendar like that!
- drallison 17y agoThis looks to be a great tool, a creative writer's dream. I'd like to see a terms of use statement, a privacy statement, and some controls as to what's private (ought to be the default) and what's open (everything private is fine). Using google and/or twitter creds is nice for the weak of memory, but it means revealing username and passwords for those sites, which in many users eyes is a security breech. It would be nice if you had a username/password for the site itself so that the paranoid can indulge in application isolation. I suspect you'll get lots of people suggesting enhancements but, if I were you, I'd reject them. What's nice is the total simplicity and the daily reminder.
- grandalf 17y agothanks for the great comments. I will add the privacy policy info, etc. The google auth is completely secure (a feature via app engine) but I think the twitter auth could be secured a bit more. Interesting idea about adding a username/password option for the site itself.
- eliot_sykes 17y agoAllow people to try it out without signing in, then give them the option afterwards to register or give them an easy way to create a login like http://writeboard.com/ http://writeboard.com/
- grandalf 17y agointeresting idea... i will have to think about how to make that easy ... i suppose it could pop up a facebox that offered to save if they signed in...
