Beautifully done. I've played around with a similar little app in the past, just to get familiar with HTML5 SQL Databases ... long before Backbone ever came about. If you're in a browser that supports 'em, you can take a peek here: http://internettypewriter.com/ http://internettypewriter.com/ There are a couple little things you might want to steal. The ability to switch the color scheme from light to dark is nice for writing in low-light places. It would be great if there were a way to trash the current page. It would be nice if the URL for "Your Writings" left off the trailing hash mark. And, this is tiny -- but I'd love the option to choose a monospace font that's a bit nicer than Courier, for full typewriter mode; say Monaco, or Menlo. So, how'd Backbone work out for an app like this? Any trouble spots worth mentioning?

Nice app! Love the simplicity. I have some color scheming things in the works, and a "night mode" is definitely on the list. Backbone worked great. There were definitely some things that didn't jive well with Rails. If I get some time, I'll write about it. My fork is here: https://github.com/jamesyu/backbone https://github.com/jamesyu/backbone Though it's not quite ready yet for general use, as I haven't really polished it up. But you can get the drift of what I'm after by looking at the commit diffs.
