Thank god for GDPR.
One of the reasons I have basically given up my fantasy of moving to the USA is the russian roulette that you seem to have to play with your health and its insurance.
Its pretty easy: The law says, that you always have to set a willing action to opt in. There can be check-boxes, but they need to be unchecked by default ("privacy by default"). Simple. I have already received multiple communications from Banks and credit card companies, and they are all very explicit about it and it was very easy to see the choices and the effect of the law.

Some things I found lacking:

1. Your background image previews on my "Hover Zoom" chrome extension (opens in overlay like a link to a image [1]).

2. Your star display breaks on my second monitor (19" 1280x1024) at 100% Zoom in Chrome and every setting above that[2] This is in my opinion not acceptable.

3. In "Preview Mode" you can not add anything, but you can still remove parts. Is this intended?

4. Speaking of preview mode... it is not obvious what it does. If you are looking at the button when you click it you don't automatically realize what it does.

That is all for now. Good luck.

This is a very confusing name. My first thought was that this is a opensource election software.

Well it's obvious to me that he meant Ruby on Rails.

Hate to say it, but they are pretty spot on.

The toolbars popup has a fixed position, so if you open a "toolbar" and then scroll with it still open it just hovers in the middle of the screen like this: http://i.imgur.com/vdoHhMr.png

Im hitting performance problems after about 5 minutes. I get massive lags. Running on latest Chrome i5 3.4GHz x 4 and 8GB RAM.

Edit: Just press "New Population" a few times and watch your browser slow down. There is a memory leak somewhere.

Theoretically, SVGs should have exactly the same benefits (e.g. load times) without any of the "hackiness".

Well in Austria (and Germany afaik) we get a vacation bonus pay ("to be able to afford vacation"). Its about one month of regular pay. Additionally, we get another month of pay for christmas ("to be able to afford gifts for the loved ones").

It's often called the "13th and 14th month of pay". Come work in Europe ;-)

this.
In the USA. Don't forget that. I'm a masters student of computer science in Austria and my debt is (depending on month) 0€ - 500€. Same in Germany. Same probably everywhere in the western world except the USA.
