Added the comment bar

There was an annoying usability issue with downfly when you wanted to add a comment to a link you liked.

After viewing the link, you'd then have to go to downfly, find the link, and add a comment to it.

As a nice solution to this (and to keep with the theme of keeping workflow), when you now view a link, there is a DOWNFLY bar up top that allows you to add a comment without having to leave the page. It also shows you the comments already left by anyone else.

DOWNFLY gets widgets

If you have your own blog or other types of content and would like people to press a button and send the link from your site, you can pick up the new button on the buttons page

It's just like those cute delicious and digg buttons that you've seen around.

DOWNFLY v2 is out

After 3 months of coding, designing, and horrible server nightmares... I'm proud to release the next iteration of DOWNFLY.

This version is simpler and attacks the problem that we originally set out to tackle. Link sending now is a horrible mess and unnecessarily complex. Watch the demo video of how DOWNFLY fixes this here

You can go to view the new site here -> http://www.downfly.com

There are lots of other features, but I tried to keep it as concise as possible. There's also a lot of latent code in the backend that won't get interesting until user numbers are much higher (such as interesting algorithms to find out which links you'll be most interested in).

Please try it out and keep me in the loop on any bugs you find or suggestions you have.
