I like the pen drop effect. It might be worth detecting the browser as when I read the "put your finger on the screen" my hand actually moved to my laptop screen. Then I realized it was probably for a mobile device and laughed as I used the mouse.

I did the same thing because my laptop at home is a swivel tablet, but I'm at work and using a regular laptop. Definitely will try this out at home though I like the simplicity of it.

we'd love to!
The only thing is that we've been open sourcing all of our projects recently (because people ask, and we love open source ourselves), but then no one seems to truly care for it.
We're beginning to wonder if not open sourcing a project actually makes it _more_ accessible since there is greater incentive to maintain it and potentially offer it as a platform. thoughts?
all-in-all the code's not that complex. more a matter of planning, principle, and investment. It took 2 professional dev/designers working on it for about a week (came together in a day, then spent a few days tweaking it to run faster and work on lots of screen sizes and devices). How do we recoup that cost? Or is it just good vibes and press? :)
Otherwise, fun. I like the pen drop effect.
Embedded UIWebViews have the problems I mentioned. Probably not much you can do about that.
