Despite the poignant quote, seeing Abraham Lincoln's face slowly coming towards me was uncomfortable.

That was a little touch we put in at the end but can quite easily remove if people don't like it..

I thought the same. Still cool site though.

I kind of liked the slight movement, but maybe it'd be more well recepted if it was a nicer picture to look at.

Yeah, this is not working for me. I have far better inspiration sources online. Notes from Universe or something is pretty awesome, there are others.

Sorry for my joke. It's a great site.

Pretty cool. Once tiny design hitch would be the flash that accompanies scrolling through the quotes. Each time the screen flashes a few times which is off putting.

A side note on that: There are people from non-profit photosensitive epilepsy foundations that scour the net for that kind of stuff. I've gotten emails about it before...it was an interesting discussion about such design features.

I'm afraid that quote is bogus. Abraham Lincoln didn't say things that sound like Hallmark Cards, because no one in the 19th century did.

I think this would be much better as an email newsletter.

(You could also place adds on it that way)

Pretty cool. I like the video-as-background. Good front end UI.

I agree with the email every day idea.
