The app is free and all inserted quotes become public, so we all can profit from inserting our quotes into the DB.
Thanks for all kinds of criticism in advance.
PS: I know there are alternatives, but I also have used it as a chance to learn Sinatra (the app is deployed on Heroku).
A couple of other notes: the export link seems to be broken, and when I click on the star the quote disappears. Using Chrome on OS X.
I have thougth about automatic import, but this requires all imported quotes to be in one uniform format, doesn't it? And to adjust the existing quotes would require a manual work which might be as hard as just adding the quotes one by one to quoterio?
I also have though about editing, but didn't like the idea because since your quote might be added by many users it would not be good, if your changes would affect all of them right? So in this cases I should duplicate the quote object for every user... But maybe I can let users edit quotes as long as they are not favorited by others... Thanks for this point. Until now you can just unmark the quote and create a new one, I'll take care about the rest.
> the export link seems to be broken
I'm quite sure it is broken by the quotation marks in your imported quote :) Thank you as well, I'll fix it.
> and when I click on the star the quote disappears.
That's true, because if you click on the gray star on your 'home' page, you unmark a quote and it disappears. This is a good point and makes it clear, that this behaviour is not obvious at all. Thanks for this. My idea was, that all you can do on the site is mark or unmark quotes. All marked quotes appear in "My quotations". All unmarked disappears. All inserted quotes are automatically marked as favorites. Probably, I have to rethink this.
