- Tawheed 15y agoTotally, a simple answers site like this is seriously in need. I wouldn't even mind paying $9/month for something simple and elegant and easy to brand like this.

- alextgordon 15y agoIt has problems in the design department. It appears extremely busy, because your eye is drawn to the top and right hand side of the page, which is completely devoid of any content.

Ribbot.com (hosted version) also supports custom domains etc.
