TypeR mini

At one point i got feedback that it would be nice to be able to type directly from the homepage. Well, that's done! Welcome to TypeR mini!
TypeR mini is designed for people who know the Hebrew keyboard, but don't have it installed (perhaps you're a guest, or it's a new computer). It does not have the virtual keyboard; it's only a textbox. It does, however, allow you to choose the modification - plain, shift, lowercase (caps->shift), or nekudot (ctrl+alt). These keyboard shortcuts do not work in mini – they are for the real thing.

critical.js beta 4

I updated critical.js to be beta 4, from beta 3. The library is rather restructured now. The biggest change is moving from modifying host objects to using the crit namespace. As a result, it now type-checks the inputs, because it can no longer be positive that print is being used on an Array object. I also used JSDoc syntax for comments in the full source. A full list of changes is as follows:
  • Moved all methods to crit namespace
  • Add clone function, to clone an object
  • Modified allBut to work on strings
  • Redid map to be simpler for me to understand
  • Merged count, nthIndexOf, and scramble into a single function for arrays and strings
  • Added support for start parameter to nthIndexOf
  • scramble for arrays no longer modifies the source array
  • Changed Array.random to crit.arandom
  • Changed Array.print to crit.aprint
  • Changed String.reverse to crit.sreverse
  • Changed String.repeat to crit.srepeat
  • Changed String.trim to crit.strim
  • Changed Boolean.toBin to crit.btoBin
  • Allow btoBin to be used on any object type parsable as a Boolean
Please try it out and report bugs!

Back up / coming soon

Woohoo, i'm back up! And with premium hosting to boot! Just a few notes about webhosts: don't use 000webhost for a forum; don't put multiple domains on a single account with a free host, and always make your own backups!

Now that that's done, some new things will be coming: TypeR 1.2 development should start soon, after critical.js is finished.

Recent downtime

I'm sorry, TypeINT has been offline for the past few days. My free webhost decided to suspend my account and force me to upgrade... I hope to have this fixed in a couple days. On the plus, it means premium hosting for about a month!

PS: Don't use 000webhost for a forum. And don't put multiple domains on a single account. Actually, maybe don't put any domains on an account there.
