Hey, that's really cool! Way better than mine.

I like the simplicity of the center part, but the polka dots on the edge are killing me. But if you like them, don't change it just because I don't like 'em, design by committee never goes well.

I have no graphic design skills (or ego). thanks for the comment.

It's also impossible to copy and paste the url I typed in?

In most browsers, copying from the input box will work. But I don't yet support pasting into the input box.

Doesn't work on iPad, which I'm using now as I lay in bed

Thanks for this comment. The reason it doesnt work is that the input box is built from scratch, so devices that use on-screen keyboards (usually mobile devices) don't know to automatically display the keyboard. On android devices, long-pressing the menu button will reveal the on-screen keyboard. I don't know how to force iOS devices to show the keyboard...
