What I need, moreso than this, is a tool for parsing really long and winding multi-screen error messages involving templates (screw up a std::map key or value? At least 100 characters in the error message just to describe it. Add an additi

Looks very cool but the fact that you have to hit the tiny "next" link makes it hard to use on iPad. It's compounded by the fact that the page isn't scrolling down all the way from step 1 to step2 so you have to scroll down manually. On th

Was that Google+'s fault for not giving an easily-embeddable link or Facebook's fault for refusing to show the goods?
