I like it. Dead simple. Makes nice output. The UI is correct. I would use. Feedback: Consider replacing "We take privacy seriously" with "I take privacy seriously". Better yet, consider removing that sentence so you don't make people second guess it. It's even easier then because there's less information that needs mental processing. You might just say, "Once you generate your memo, your information is deleted foreve…

People that are politically on the left spectrum tend to address themselves and the others in the plural form. Having that in mind, not sure how asking the author to consider the replacement is considerate :)

I just recently used Prawn to make a PDF receipt generator in Rails for work. It's surprisingly fun when you get into it, and Prawn is very powerful. I've been thinking of making a Resume generator using Prawn in my spare time, but I haven't really found the time.

Prawn is wonderful. I used it to make a worksheet generator for teaching and was blown away by what I could do.

Very nice! A few questions: - Where are you hosting this site? - What is your tech stack? - Do have any plan to build on this web app?

Quite simple to work out some of this yourself:

>Where are you hosting this site?

    $ dig +short a www.createamemo.com
    memo-gen.herokuapp.com.
    us-east-1-a.route.herokuapp.com.
    23.23.225.163
> What is your tech stack?

    $ curl -I www.createamemo.com
    ...
    Server: WEBrick/1.3.1 (Ruby/2.2.4/2015-12-16)
    ...
So, it looks like it’s a Rails app hosted on Heroku.

Two things stood out right away (on Firefox 42) and point 2 particularly dissuaded me from checking it out any further. 1. It doesn't check for empty content and produces a pdf with just 'memo' and horizontal line. 2. Can't paste, ctrl+v won't work and there is no paste in context menu.

I couldn't tell if it was an "office space" joke or not, and didn't want to put my e-mail address in just to find out.

Here: https://mytemp.email/2

The link takes you, without clicking on anything, to the inbox of a disposable email address that perishes if you don't visit it for 24 hours or if you close the session.
