It looks great! A search box seems like an obvious useful feature (even though the dataset is small enough to browse through for the most part).
Edited to add: Shouldn't " and ' appear somewhere? Yes, real quotation marks should be preferred in typography, but straight quotes are extremely common and sometimes appropriate (e.g. in source code) and it's necessary to escape them inside of HTML/XML attributes. And yes, I know ' has compatibility problems that should be made clear somehow...
- shawn_allison 17y agoThanks for your feedback! In regards to the issue of ' I didn't include it based on compatibility issues and this article's opinion http://fishbowl.pastiche.org/2003/07/01/the_curse_of_apos/ http://fishbowl.pastiche.org/2003/07/01/the_curse_of_apos/ I did totally forget to include " and it will be added in an update later today. A search box may be something I will implement in the future, but for now I do feel the dataset is small enough that people should be able to find what they need quickly enough. The suggestion is noted though. Thanks.
- mbrubeck 17y agoWhy not list apostrophe as ' and include a link to that article? If you omit it, users will just look it up somewhere else and maybe get it wrong.
- shawn_allison 17y agoI've updated the site and done as you suggested. Thanks for the advise!
