Torchpad is based on Git. You can track any changes. In the future, Torchpad allows you to download the git repository for backup.

It's either in the future or it's in the present. I know it's marketing speak but if you want to appeal to the large number of people who are pedants of the English language it would be better to use one tense throughout

Otherwise, nice concept! Look forward to taking it for a test run

Judging from the front page, I don't think English is the native language of the developers.

When I do the search I see "✓" in the query string. http://www.torchpad.com/workspace/wikis/demo/search?utf8=%E2... That's my first time ever see such in query string!

We add the utf8 param to prevent from Internet Explorer bug.

Any reason why you have to add utf-8 param? This is interesting, especially the check mark - that's actually my first (or number zero) question :)
