This looks great. I have seen this idea implemented several times and each time it was an uninviting / non-modern UI.

I always wanted something like this to become popular and gain a user-base because it might lead to a more community-feeling web.

Here's hoping you accomplished it. Cheers.

Thanks! I, too, value consistent and simple UI. Ideally when distributed web takes off Birdy should become completely distributed and encrypted.

Would be very useful if we could paste a github file url and refactor.io could just render the file (or a portion of it based on the github url) rather than pasting code manually.

Also, I was trying to comment on a code snippet I created. It would have been convenient to be able to refer to a specific line using shorthand (like #14, etc.) in a comment rather than pasting the entire snippet again with a diffed view.

Still a cool and super simple idea.

thanks Afaq! this is great feedback!

I just created a list this morning to help my family figure out an alternative to LastPass.

Here it is: http://afaqurk.github.io/lastpass-alternatives/

Yes, someone pointed that out on reddit. I'm going to make that and a few other changes to it this weekend.

This is EXACTLY what I started doing yesterday for the @Ehesp Responsive-Dashboard project. Glad you got it done before I got anywhere with it. Very useful to small one-off projects!

Awesome. Saw it on Reddit yesterday. Love the logo.

Needs more gif support.

This is so freakin cool. I assume you will receive a lot of criticism from VIM die-hards for your key bindings. But I love it.

Good job!

Not only VIM but also UNIX people, because of ^C and ^Z.

I'm definitely hard-coded to not use ctrl+c or ctrl+z for copy/undo inside of a terminal, but I can see how this would make it easier for those just starting out to get used to terminal commands. Homogenizing our hotkeys with the ones used in GUIs isnt a bad thing, but it's certainly going to make things hairy for a while if more command line tools follow suit (how do I know which ones use which? Could lead to some very costly mistakes when I try to copy).

Very nice!

My friend's parent is disabled and we thought about doing something like this and hooking it up to a touch-screen monitor for them.

That way the parent can see messages from her kids (in a different city) and vice versa without any effort or typing.

Thanks. Glad it helped another dev.
