This site sucks. Intriguing idea but it sucks!

Hi! Thank you for your laconic opinion :)

P.S. If you don't mind I move the topic to "general" (since it is not an introduction).

This comment box is hard to edit and wouldn't let me upload a post longer than 2000 characters. Most of that was complaints even though I like it here more than I should.

Well, it seems you are right - for some reason it do not prevent from entering characters beyond limit :(
I will put it into our todo list now and try to improve it bit later...

Ok, now we have the character counter above the text area, and the limit was raised to 5000. Hope this may help a bit.

P.S. I hope you also wouldn't mind I'll change the topic title to more relevant.

Thanks! =) Actually the really annoying part is cut & paste, but I just leave the code blank instead of typing it all out again...

> Actually the really annoying part is cut & paste

I see you are working with bash scripts, so I'm afraid it is not possible to execute them online... However we can create endpoints for fetching input data and submitting result via HTTP, for example with curl... Do you think it may help in your case?

> instead of typing it all out again

I thought it should be possible to click the link above the textarea (where words "you already have sources..." are) to load the code saved from previous attempt. Though probably it is somewhat boring anyway...
