It appears in need of a little maintenance (broken tables) but I like this. Nice work.


ah yes, it's been awhile and it looks like some of the JS is broken.

thanks

TIL some people actually trust this tribe of neanderthals: http://gizmodo.com/about/


As opposed to trusting a tattooed dude with a shotgun?


Gizmodo and its parent company have a documented history of ethical slips. A tattooed guy with a shotgun isn't inherently unethical or guilty, in my mind. But I don't watch a lot of TV or movies, so I'm weak in the stereotyping department.


He looks exactly like a kind of person who would make trouble. Not saying that he did, we know looks can be deceptive. Just pointing out that ad hominem argument here can fly both ways.


Not only are you not right, you are not even wrong.

You have confused "Total War" [1] for "war" in general.

Furthermore, "Total War" is near impossible in reality and has yet to occur.

Stop trying to desecrate our language with your tapered definitions.

Open a dictionary.

war |wɔː|

noun [ mass noun ]

a state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country: Japan declared war on Germany | the two countries were at war for the next eight years | [ count noun ] : I fought in two wars.

• a state of competition or hostility between different people or groups: she was at war with her parents | [ count noun ] : a price war among tour operators.

• a sustained campaign against an undesirable situation or activity: the authorities are waging war against smuggling | [ count noun ] : a war on drugs.

False! Space is a vacuum. Vacuums cannot be smelt.

All matter smells, but, by definition, is not space itself.


Bilal, what you have created here is really quite wonderful.

Please don't smother it with complexity in adding the endless myriad of features people will undoubtedly try to convince you are necessary.

Playing with this has really inspired me to write something today.

Thank you.


Thanks! That's sound advice. We don't plan on adding more features than necessary. A user system with sharing and persistence of poems should be sufficient.


Meter control would be useful too. And rhyme highlighting.


Copy/Paste

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Or you could fork it (http://github.com/bilalq/Tranquillity-Editor) and add it in for yourself ;)


A keen observation indeed. In a zombie apocalypse, I'd readily let you keep watch whilst I slept.

Wired is notoriously sensationalist. Take anything you get from there with many grains of salt.
