Why would I need the dump in JSON? XML is for sure uglier but at least there are efficient SAX parsers.

UPDATE 2013-04-08: I got a phone call from a recorded voice that said that my laptop have been shipped and I would get it in 24h.

UPDATE 2013-04-09: I got another phone call from the Dell support center that confirmed the shipment but they said that may laptop have not been fixed. They are shipping it as it was a month ago! They are sending me a new laptop in about 2 weeks and in the meanwhile I can keep my old one. I asked if they were sending me some sort of gift or a refund for all the trouble but they said that, as they’re a support center, they can’t and if I want I can send a letter to their lawyers. Another terrible story from Dell support service.

It was just a matter of showing the potential of a tool like that, it's possible to uncover some malicious or self-serving edits like: Sky is removing critics from his page http://wikiwatchdog.com/#!search/en/sky.com/216355/446125412

or Dell that is removing critics http://wikiwatchdog.com/#!search/en/dell.com/102490/32008505...

or a Dell employee that vandalizes the Dell page http://wikiwatchdog.com/#!search/en/dell.com/102490/88573397

It's awesome. I love it!

One feature that would make it much much awesome would be an integration with Github. In our university we're trying to convince professors to release the latex source of the lecture notes on Github in order to receive issues or pull requests from students for typos or improvements. As most teachers don't know git it would be great if they could open files on writelatex from github and commit changes. I know that's quite hard to do but imho it could really improve the project.

p.s.: Is it open source? Will it ever be?

I really can't stand longer lines, I think that this is a best practice for every code. I usually work with the monitor splitted in two parts with maybe 2 different files in each half, long lines would make that really difficult to read.

Moreover if you need lines longer than 80 chars you're probably doing it the wrong way: long lines are difficult to understand

I think it's good to name these variables, obviously you need to use short names, otherwise you'll get very long regexps. but in any case it will increase readability imho.

Code sucks 14 years ago

Luckily there are people that write good code, is difficult to find them but they exsist.

If you want to speak about the average (or below average) coder I agree, they write crappy code and you have to deal with it, someday

I love it but I actually don't understand why you decided to put two completely separated features in a single library: the alert/confirm/prompt dialogs and the log/success/error messages.

I think that if you'd split this two things into two different libraries it would be better (e.g.: if i want only dialogs i'd prefer to include just them)
