Re: Thank you!

I have two paper deadlines on Wednesday and a job interview on Friday so nothing will happen before then and thankfully your existing tool is back up again I see. However, obviously long term it wouldn't hurt to have a back up.

What I'll do to start is look to put my code and lists in a public repository (e.g. GitHub) - that will mean that even if something happens to me you should be able to recover all the lists (and the codebase if you have someone who wants a starting point). Then I'll add all your existing lists from Magibrain to the repository as well. That way you'll have a backup of all the existing data that isn't dependent upon a single person keeping something going - it won't add future lists, but at least it will be a start.

Then I'll start looking into implementing some of the things from your Wishlist above - and figuring out some kind of automated backup process so that prompt lists can't get lost again.
