Late last night I released the first version of PeerPad.com for the world to see. PeerPad is an online notes manager and todo-list creation and sharing tool. At least, that is what it aims to be. Right now, in a lot of ways it is deeply broken. And it lacks polish in many spots; but that’s okay. The old me would have shuddered to even just imagine releasing something unpolished… let alone broken! But since then I’ve learned that it is preferable to accept imperfection when the only likely alternative is to risk facing perpetual obscurity.

Plus, I slapped this thing together with lightening speed and it does very little at this point. As usual, I see myriad directions for it to evolve toward, but it is almost to the point of correctly doing exactly what I originally imagined for it; a slick way to log my personal activities. Once the saving issues are fixed and the problems with encoding various characters and so on then I’ll try and find time to add some of the more obvious enhancements.

If you like what you see so far please leave a comment or contact me to offer some encouragement. I doubt that anything could motivate me more than some unsolicited feedback.
