That is a freemium offer AFAIU, where one is more or less just a demo and the other one is similar to a system extension for input. I don't know how to apply that to my app. I was thinking of a time-limited trial version. I don't believe Ap

Yes, the landing page is very much a first try and sure needs evolving. The page you link to looks awesome. And also I think a brighter overall design is probably more Mac-like and might appeal more to non-tech people. Until release if was

Yes, that will follow, also other international ones, of course. German, French, Spanish, and Dvorak will probably come as the next ones. Do you think Colemak is better than Dvorak?

Fixed for the copy text. I didn't check that on more screens yet. Thanks.

I understand that is too much for just trying it out. I will add a trial version soon.

I couldn't really find anything on the site on this, so the question: are non-US citizens allowed to sign? If so, are they encouraged to sign?

There is another very interesting page on bezier curves which goes all the way into the maths you need, i.e. finding intersections, length of a curve, splitting a curve, etc. It's not animated but interactive, so drag the control points. h

FDP is member of ALDE, which is the liberal democrats party. They are in a historic low in the polls recently. They are also part of the federal government coalition right now. The FDP has most of the time been a very small party in popular

One problematic fact for trying to fend off this legislation is probably that google and wikipedia will likely not "go dark" for non-US proposed legislation.

I'm not convinced that there is much reason to doubt the HIV-causation of AIDS, I'm a bit put off about the way a dissenter is dealt with here. "What you're saying, though, is a stance that's literally killing millions of people in Africa.
