Another web service entirely (or maybe incorporate it into this one) where the user can store ANY pieces of text. For instance, I use a text personal information manager (PIM) called Treepad to store my random ideas in a hierarchy. I would much rather store this information online in a secure place, and I would much rather categorize my information with tags. Maybe I could even download a zip file backup of all of my pieces of text. I can’t believe I haven’t been able to find something like this yet, although Quoth comes close… email me if anyone has any leads daniel.poynter {at} gmail DOt (com)

The ALL CAPS formatting conventions are really hard to read, at least for me. Maybe normal case and italics instead? Something that would make it easier to scan the list when adding a new quote and looking for the relevant instructions. - Andrea

And! Right now the list of conventions takes up a lot of space and I have to scroll down before I can add my quote. How about re-arranging the page a bit, so that the relevant input suggestions are right below or next to the text fields (e.g. the For Media (source field) items below the source field). - Andrea

User suggestions taken under consideration

I wish we could contact members of this site. There are people on here who consistently put up great quotes. I’d like to interact with them. How can this be done?

I have been busy with graduate schoolwork since about september, but a few weeks ago I decided to revamp the code behind quoth to make it more extensible. I learned PHP/MySQL programming while designing the site, so understandably the underlying code would make just about anyone cry. Two the things I intend to implement after I am sure that all of the current functionality still works are: (A) “profile” pages for each user similar to the user-profile pages on Flickr. (B) a way to message between users with-or-without a reliance upon an email-go-between. — R.B.

No to the first question. I don’t think it should list ALL tags. The list could just as cumbersome as del.icio.us tags. Maybe a top number of tags and whatnot. Yes to the second question. - MattChan

I like having a list of all tags to discover new stuff, so maybe a top 20 on the front page and then a “see all” link? As for the second question. Do you mean if user A uploads a quote and tags it “bread” and user B favorites it and adds the tag “butter”, it will appear under http://quoth.nexusvector.net/tag/butter? In that case, yes. Otherwise I didn’t get the question. - Andrea

User suggestions implemented

This is probably already in the works. A different look (border color?) for quotes I’ve fav’ed? - Andrea

How about a “Short Story” and “Article”, and even a “Blog post,” selection for the “Type” dropdown?

Now that this has been implemented, could you linkify the URL if Blog post/Article etc. is selected? And I was wondering if it would be a good idea to automatically include the URL in the “source” field when using the bookmarklet? Would make sense for citing an online write-up, but you’d have to delete it off the field for most other cases. Hm. - Andrea
