Quoterio: for those who save quotes into a text file

by elrodeo on 5/30/11, 7:18 AM with 4 comments

I've built this small app (http://quoterio.com/) for those crazy people who like me still save their favorite quotes into a text file.

The app is free and all inserted quotes become public, so we all can profit from inserting our quotes into the DB.

Thanks for all kinds of criticism in advance.

PS: I know there are alternatives, but I also have used it as a chance to learn Sinatra (the app is deployed on Heroku).

    I like it. I am one of those crazy people as well and have been kicking around the idea of making something like this. I keep quotes in a google doc and I have a ton of them so I'd love the ability to import a list of many quotes from a text file. Also would like the ability to edit quotes after I submit them. I included the quotation marks in my quote so the result has \" in it.

    A couple of other notes: the export link seems to be broken, and when I click on the star the quote disappears. Using Chrome on OS X.

    Are you going to make the code available? I love reading other people's sinatra code.
