I was intentionally shaming him. The problem is becoming much more widespread and it's the product of simple laziness.
I don't think shaming someone is an effective way to encourage them to create better quality software.

A bit off topic but pertains to your question: I made an iOS app with Parse.com for my backend[1]. Should I worry about others breaking in to my user's info? What can I do to protect their data? [1] https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/habit-streaks-create-good/id...

Supporting Firefox and IE are decisions. I choose not to do it until something I've built had had consistent usage for a few months. Then I spend the time and support them but it's a pain. I test on chrome and safari web and mobile (blankslate is not a good mobile experience mind you). I'll jump in and fix the known Firefox layout weirdness soon but it's not laziness, it's a choice. Instead of doing that I built a go…
This is a choice, sure, but it's a choice to be lazy, at the expense of 10-20% (depending on your source) of users. It's probably higher still for a technical audience, which effectively removes IE and boosts Firefox through anti-google users.

You could have just said: "you need to test this in other browsers" http://blog.ycombinator.com/new-hacker-news-guideline and your comment would have been more concise and less gratuitously negative.

Review the rules. I don't think my comment violated them and I think the response to my comment is an indicator that people have thinner skins every day.
This is what I use http://pcache.alexa.com/images/settings/windows7/notepad-bla...
I'm also a big fan of using standard notepad programs (this, TextEdit on OS X) but struggle to find a good program for mobile note taking. Any suggestions for iOS or Android?
I'm really surprised the author would release this without even making Command+A (Select All) work.
