I’ve changed the way strokes animate, so that they start snapping into place as you write them, rather than all at the end. This should help with writing more complex characters, because you won’t run out of space or have strokes all jumbled together when writing quickly. But, I’m not sure whether it’s as pedagogically effective. I need your feedback! Try it and tell me what you think. Does it help you write faster, is it too distracting, does it give better feedback that you’re writing the wrong character earlier, does it give you too much of a hint, is it shiny or just over the top?
George and Scott aren’t here to critique it, so it gets put up without them, oh yes. Scott had the idea at the conference, and I was too excited about it to fix bugs, so I just made it. Apparently, when there aren’t other people around, I just work all day, eat spaghetti with rice, and do pull-ups. George will be back this afternoon to save me from scurvy, overtraining, and repetitive strain injuries. I can’t tell if the house is dirty or not, but he can and will probably get me to help clean it.
I’ve also put up the old contact page, getting rid of the Get Satisfaction feedback widget, based on a small number of negative opinions. We’ll probably make our own forums at some point, instead.
