"Can we have a bookmarklet or chrome extension for this?"

Yes we can :) Thanks for your suggestion.


That's true, I'm implementing that. Thank you for your feedback:)


Oh I see. A long click should also select and not open, as well as holding control and then click. I'm still trying to figure out how I will expose these information to a new user.


Its been a week but hopefully you still see this.

I notice now what you mention but still hard to discover on your own. Perhaps implementing the Windows double click type functionality (as a setting?) would be familiar to most (as in, most people use Windows) as people are used to one click to select and a quick double click to open. But this also seems to put more emphasis on editing / the interface than the actual functionality.


Thank you, that's very kind. Also that links rocks, I didn't know it. Good idea for monetization. About that, I was thinking vaguely about customization (wallpaper, color scheme, buttons, icons etc.) - in case this site is worth one cent for at least one user.


Ah? Any resource so I can improve that?


Yes, sorry for the quick criticism without constructiveness. My bad.

Play with this tool: http://colorschemedesigner.com/

Currently you have a color scheme based on similar brightnesses of very similar hues—green and blue are very close together on the color wheel, thus it's difficult to tell them apart and in some sense they "clash" with each other.

The grey you've chosen is also very similar in brightness, which makes the whole theme quite low contrast, and thus difficult to read.

Analogistic color schemes like this can work, but they need to be relatively high contrast so that there's enough of a difference in perceived color to make text readable and transitions more clear. And to prevent clashing, which is just generally perceived as unpleasing.

I'd go with your little memory-chip icon. Take the green off of that (#60B660) and the chip grey (#424242) and choose a contrasting accent color. You can go with a blue, but I wouldn't recommend it, and if you do I'd go with either very dark or very light used in places where it won't clash (such as maybe the top nav bar). Against the green, I'd use an orange or red or magenta in there, or just go with one main color and adjust brightnesses as needed (pretty failsafe).

Something like this would be similar to what you have, but with a better accent than blue (dark magenta) : http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/132637/Odd_but_trendy

Here's an analogistic color scheme that works due to the contrast and hue separation: http://www.colourlovers.com/palette/81885/Hymn_For_My_Soul

It's hard to explain how good color schemes are really created, other than by following the color wheel somewhat and your sense of aesthetic above all, but you can take any of these as a start for reference on what's "good." -- http://www.colourlovers.com/palettes/most-loved/past-month/m... -- Yours isn't too bad, there's just something off about it due to the low-contrast high-similarity colors used. Cheers.


Hey thanks desireco42, I'm glad you liked it. I feel the same about the feedbacks and it's going to be a lot of fun to code those amazing suggestions.


Hey ryiytrye, thanks so much for your feedback. I will make my possible to figure out how I can solve that bug. Also, I'm currently implenting the icon move, copy and paste. Stay tuned (it's for tomorrow) ;)

edit: good remark. Memorypools are links too. So if you create two memorypools with the same name, they will "point" on the same "desktop" as expected :)


No problem, it's been fun playing with it :)

Two more issues: http://i.imgur.com/uBpTr0m.png - somehow managed to get two links superimposed ("meteor" and "j"), and moving blocks of links took a rather long time.


Awesome =)


I see. Very valuable feedback, thanks ;)


Thank you for your feedback. Sorry for the inconvenience. I will address that quickly.


Ok, will add that. Thank you for testing.
