Love how you do the text handling - click, with little draggable, resizeable text area with handle; how did you build that - jQueryUI with lots of mods, or something even lower level?

And have you seen paperi.st? (http://paperi.st/) Similar kind of idea as far as text entry - and i'd also love to know how they did it.

Thank you! It's basically jQueryUI + lots of thinking about what different user actions should mean. I hadn't seen paperi.st, but the basic effect isn't hard: just create a new auto-focused input where the user clicks.
Dang, works on iPad too.
