This is great, and you're receiving well-deserved attention. I have to ask, did you mean to call yourself "pretigioustech" or was that an accidental misspelling?

#22Very cool. Pretty much flawless on iOS (8.3) right down to just opening the pdf in iBooks. Loads fast enough that I can grab it between stops on the metro. Is the date going to pre-fill with the current date in future revisions? On my red. It was 06/15/2016 I think.
Agree with csydas. Just looked at it and read the text and have to say this is really nice. Makes me happy.
More constructive feedback: If it is to be used in Europe the date must be either configurable or default to a format that isn't totally confusing like month/day/year is.

> Consider replacing "We take privacy seriously" with "I take privacy seriously". There's some tension between wanting to be taken seriously ("we" makes it sound like there is a team supporting the product) and using the correct pronoun number for a single author. I see the appeal of using the royal "we" everywhere, even when there is only one person behind the project, because at least then the pronouns don't need t…
Yeah, I'd be very curious to hear what people think about this. Is it better to us "I" or "We" when running a site yourself? And does the answer change depending on the type of site?
I think it depends on who is speaking: a team is always a plural, so if it's the team behind X, then you use 'we'; if you're speaking as an individual, you use 'I'. (This can get confusing for some projects, if you're speaking in both capacities while being the only team member.)
So it comes down to how much you want your site associated with you personally, versus having its own identity (and associated "team", even if it's just you on the team).
For hobby projects, I generally go with 'I'; for anything I'm asking for money in exchange for a service, I go with 'we'.
If you feel uncomfortable using 'we' instead of 'I', just file a C-corp and get a registered agent. Now there's two of you, and when you're speaking as the corporation, it's a 'we'. (I'd argue it's always a 'we' for the C-corp, though, because again, it's a team, and teams are always plural.)
Of course, I've been known to use language strangely, so make up your own style rules and go with them.

IMO both are perfectly acceptable.

#26Looks beautiful, dude. I love your typography. Very similar design in terms of simplicity to something I'm working on. So maybe I'm just patting myself on the back, but I dig it. Great job!

#27Good job! Very nice for a first web app.

#28If we can comment on functionality too (not just UI and design), I would say at least add an option to your text editor to do left/right alignment to support RTL languages.
