When you type an abbreviation, if you type a comma right after that, the expanded text is doubled. I'm assuming this is a bug?

I'm having trouble recreating this. What's your OS/browser?

Very cool. Will be using this regularly. Only problem I see is that the panda attaches to the very bottom right of text areas and can be oscured by scrollbars

That's a good point. Fixed.

This is almost as cool as typd.in! I wonder if there's a good way for the two to work together...

How do I actually use this on other sites? Seems I can't or am I missing something?

Also you probably know this but if I make the abbreviation: hh = hello hello Then add another one like: hhy = hello hello to you

hh is replaced with "hello hello" before I can finish typing hhy.

I'd pay you and you're not charging me... Simple doesn't have to be free, I'd gladly pay 5 bucks a month to have this, so why not start charging?

I pay $10 a month to use a cell phone, and you'd happily pay $5 for a keyboard shortcut?

Safari 3.1.2 on OS X 10.5.5 (I think). Just tried it now and it works fine. I might have been on Server 2008 with Firefox, it was 8 days ago... (I know late reply)
