I know what Markdown is and yet this turned me off:
"Ability to format posts with Markdown"
If that's a differentiating factor from CL then you have ways to go. Sorry to be negative - I just don't think any CL user would care. This is a feature worthy of a footnote.
Also, in my experience, average users don't have a clue about markdown or wiki syntax. Instead, they use their favorite (often syntactically incorrect) dash trains (for em dashes), exclamation armies, or whatever and end up with broken formatting.
Ryan, that's great. I have been working on something similar for many of the same reasons you mentioned. Check this out: http:/www.pdfamigo.com I think you may find it interesting.
In all seriousness, I think you should pick something other than a pig for your logo. I realize you are going for "piggy bank" but most people will think "H1N1." Or, perhaps it's just me :) Good luck anyways.
Bit off topic, but most libraries have an interlibrary loan system that can get you pretty much any book you might need, for free. Sorry, but not using the library is the definition of ignorance.
No offense but the first thing I thought was: what a terrible site design; large clickable quadrants to move between sections, that resize. I've never seen anything quite like it. :)
I'm not sure I would emulate it, I just said it was neat. :) However, it does use a very nice principle: that large spaces are easy to click, so it's very easy to move between sections using the mouse.
As someone who has generally thought of Vim as the most pathological creation of computer-land ever, there isn't anything in this site that seems aimed to change that impression or even communicate what vi/vim is.
Moreover, I suspect the majority of computer users feel a similar an antagonism to vi/vim and so anyone who's talking about an introduction to vim ought to, uh, explain it.
Moreover, I am a full-time Linux user and I have actually used vi to accomplish small tasks. I can't imagine someone in the know getting anything from this site.
Well, its not an informational site. Cream is an integrated set of macros which makes starting of vim use less painfull. It works under Linux and Windows.
Well, Arch Linux for one. At least until you upgrade it yourself.
I can't imagine that Arch is the only one either. Xubuntu, anyone? Ubuntu comes default with some strange flavor of vim that I can't stand, so I always install vim-nox ASAP on new machines.
Hmmm, good question. I think my target audience may be a bit too broad (I hope!) to define... but I am sure there is a lot of companies that produce PDF forms all the time. So, in a sense, I am mostly targeting businesses rather than individuals.
In any case, form examples, screenshots, etc are an absolute necessity so thanks for pointing that out.
I am sure you can come up with a better description than this.
