Thanks for building Akayame bambax. Pretty neat. A few comments: 1) Please add one or more licenses so developers can include Akayame in their projects with confidence. A couple of examples: http://jquery.org/license/ https://github.com/jquery/sizzle/blob/master/LICENSE 2) The footer and menu are below the fold in my browsers in the Converter and Editor views so I need to scroll to see the menu and "Yet Another Markdown Editor" text. 3) The footer could do with improved styling : text overlaps the border, bullets and links use default styles. Minor quibbles but improvements would improve the professionalism of the site.

wo with keyword rich text explaining the project ("jQuery powered online Markdown editor") and background ("inspired by other Showdown online Markdown editor projects") could help with search engines listings. 6) Have you considered hosting the code on Github for increased exposure and link juice?

You're being disingenuous here. Anybody looking for information about jQuery's selectors will google "jquery selectors" and find that five-word phrase front and center. Or take a look at the jQuery front page and hover over "CSS3 Compliant" to see "Supports CSS 1-3 selectors and more!". If you want to pick on something that claims compatibility, try Sizzle itself - http://sizzlejs.com/. In that case, you'll find a summary of alterations right at the top of its documentation https://github.com/jquery/sizzle/wiki .
