When I did http://collabedit.com I used the approach outlined at: http://www.codecommit.com/blog/java/understanding-and-applyi... with an md5 hash for the "Operational Parentage" piece.

It was pretty tough to implement (for me at least). Especially when I got to using the "Bridger" and "Buffer" to transform.

Your approach seems much simpler. Do you retain the ability to "play back" the edits like etherpad did?

How big can a document get before you run into the precision issue you mentioned?

What if you do display different prices, but at the end of checkout you surprise them and charge everyone the lowest price in your range.
If 99% of your value is in the base product and 1% is in the advanced features, most people will chooses the cheapest plan available.

My customers don't care about ssl or extra storage so they'll always choose the cheaper plan. But if the basic plan was +$10 what percentage would still buy it?

If you could edit while offline, and have it re-sync when you're connected, that would be nice.

It doesn't sound like that is supported yet.

Out of curiosity, why would one set window.location.hash?
I see that now.
Do the demos work on the iPhone?

Yes, but sometimes timing is everything.

In this case I was looking for feedback, ideas and awareness. Given the state of things, the timing has worked out pretty well.

Probably not today, but you try it out: http://collabedit.com/display?id=44959

You can also open multiple browser windows if no one else is there.

I'd like to be able to disable rotation in a web-app. Like a meta-tag or something.

Thanks for the honesty. Most people don't use stopwatch at their computer.

I created a mobile version of the website for use on your phone. It's better than your other stopwatch if you want to keep track of your times.

It's a stopwatch that lets you save, organize and chart your times.

Some questions:

  1. Is this useful?
  2. How much functionality does a premium plan need before I can charge?
  3. Any other feedback is appreciated.
