Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

legacy.skritter.cn

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Just to say - I've just signed up for a year having used the beta for a few months. This is a brilliant tool, keep up the good work.

I've used it for almost 2 weeks now and will for sure sign up for a payed extension in the next few days. Just need to work out how Paypal works :-)

Ditto. Hopefully you're getting a whole bunch of sign-ups today on the one-month anniversary of the launch, mine among them. Thanks for a great service.

Thank you very, very much!

Yes, there have been many signups, starting yesterday. We're nervously looking forward to the next few days, when we get to see how many beta users like Skritter enough to pay for it.

Well, George is more nervous. I'm getting excited because it's looking pretty good so far!

Not only did I just sign up, my Wacom Bamboo, bought especially for use with Skritter, arrived today:

Skritter + Wacom = Learning + 10.

Speaking of character attributes, how is your Endurance stat looking?

I just signed up for two years.

Some friends of mine are learning Japanese. I showed them Skritter. They were impressed/interested.

Get rich, guys.

I was planning to subscribe but found out I am losing my job so....I will subscribe as soon as I get a new one!

faceleg   June 12th, 2009 9:59p.m.

@Nicki :( that sucks. I hope you find another quickly!

Ah! I am reminded of a feature I wanted to request: the ability for anyone to upgrade anyone else's account. I use to play an incredibly nerdy browser game that had this feature. It would allow people to "donate" upgrades to their friends.

Implement it.

I will be buying a subscription as soon as I learn my current queue (I'm in the process of moving to Shanghai so my Skritter time has been limited and every time I login my stats go down...) The tool is well worth the cost though - if I compare to a Chinese tutor or teacher showing me stroke orders (or me spending the time to look them up) it is crazily cost-effective.
