A notepad in HTML & CSS only

Ever wanted to have a nice, clean looking notepad – that scales with the amount of elements you need to write on it – in HTML & CSS? So did I for the startup I am working on. Could I find anything? Nope. So, I made one. It’s nothing fancy, and should look pretty close to this:

Notepad

The notepad was designed by the wonderful Andree Blixt.

To see an online demo, check it out here. It is released under the MIT license, so do what you want with it. The only thing I ask is for attribution. Also, please feel free to suggest updates/tweaks/enhancements especially to show multiple pages and adding jQuery animation if you would like (either in the comments or emailing me directly).

To get the files, download them from github here. 

Enjoy :)

An apology to Ohanian (Reddit Co-founder)

In a prior post I came out in swinging defense of what I thought was Kevin’s courageous attempt to save Digg and Alexis’s misguided criticisms.

As it turns out, Digg V4 has decided to focus on ‘large publishers’ (like Alexis had thought they would) rather than ‘small publishers’ (whichh I thought they were).

So, given that I quickly (and loudly) appealed to Alexis to be cautious with his critique, I feel it is appropriate to (just as loudly) apologize and admit that I was wrong, and am now disappointed in Digg and Kevin.

I stand corrected Alexis, you were right.

Please note that I am not apologizing just because the community revolted – communities always revolt when change happens, but they often get used to it – but I am acknowledging that Alexis correctly saw what the true changes at Digg were, as I did not.
