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:

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.

Funny... Or not?
This morning the prompt for writing hanzi shows pinyin AND the hanzi. What is going on guys?

I sent an e-mail yesterday as the mobile version won't fit on my screen and won't let me re-size it making it unusable. I hope George doesn't mind me sharing part of his response.

"Yeah, actually Nick and I are going to work on revamping the Android functionality next week. Right now it is pretty busted for a lot of people, and somehow the performance has really taken a nose dive since we first did performance testing"

Really strange. Everything is back to normal again.

Ok, good to know that it's not just me.

I've been experiencing these same problems on my HTC Desire HD, the "tap to focus flash" that previously was working, doesn't work anymore, and it no longer fits on my screen.

Kind of frustrating as this is the primary method I use to access Skritter.

*edit* from one of the other posts, a temporary fix that works for me is to add ?zooming=true onto the end or the URL. Hope this helps those with the same problem.

@liamshannon, thanks for the tip, i didn't know they had that parameter to add to the link!

Tuesday. That's when I'm stealing George's phone, rewriting the layout engine, and trying to figure out what's going wrong with the slow loading and freezing, since I can't debug any of it on my tablet. Thanks for your patience!
