We really do listen!! Based on some feedback we got about codeShare we have implemented some updates over the weekend. The updates might not LOOK that significant to the eye, but as we all know what the website looks like is only about a 1/3rd of the story.

Anyway we started updates by adding "pop-out codeShare". Pop-out codeShare allows users reviewing code the ability to view the code out side of the codeShare template in a no line numbers plain text format. The pop-out page has two sections. The first section is on top and allows the user to view all of the codeShare on a single page. The second section is that a same code presented in a large textarea box. This allows the user to quickly cut and paste the code if needed.

The second group of updates has to do with the codeShare window seen below. To start we fixed the line wrapping issue. Before long lines of code would wrap in FF and simply roll off the page in IE. This should have never been an issue but it was. Now the text does not wrap and the user can scroll to the right if needed. To save space on the screen we also limited the height of the codeShare window. Now for longer pieces of code the user can scroll up and down.  Remeber if you want to see it all on one page without the scrolling click on the pop-out codeShare link.

The third update is minor and it introduces a new logo and a little color into the site. I'm a fan of orange lately and I think it really fits in. The site is still clean and simple, but the color adds a little more to it I think. More updates on the design to come I'm sure.

The last group of updates have been the most lengthy of the updates and unfortunately you can't see them yet. They have to do with users being able to sign up for an everFro Share account. A Share account will give users the ability to save their codeShares forever, review comments made on past shares and provide the ability to link to a codeShare outside of the codeShare and display them on your website, blog or community site. As I mentioned these updates aren't live yet, but are coming very soon. I promised certain people they would be done by the end of they year last November, but I didn't say which year HA!! Anyway we always appreciate feedback so please drop us a line on the the web site or on one of our blogs (Fro or myself ). codeShare is a project design as a tool to help you all and we hope that it does.

Good Day!
