A positive twist on your common insult generator.
This is my first Ruby app, and I have little to no idea what I'm doing. Suggestions on how to do things better are welcome.

- begin building The Kindess Dial and necessary variable-kindness compliment generation functionality
- UX hack: float button above footer for small phones
- published API instructions in "advanced settings" menu

- Use JavaScript to get compliments, instead of by page reload.
- dynamic accoutrements
- compliment counter
- busted a move

- Responsive layout allows you to compliment on the go!

- It works!
Some of the fancy pure-CSS imagery in this app modifies code found in articles by Lea Verou (seigaiha background), James Koster (horizontal ribbon), and simurai (bon bon button).
The mobile-responsive vertical ribbon layout is a new design that I will continue to refine. Updates to it will likely be published here first.
- footer re-design; make layout respond to viewport height in addition to width
- refactor compliment generation logic: probably cache compliments for performance because it's not the 1980s and storage is cheap
- CSS cleanup
- compliment sharing options? (maybe. if there's desire for it.)
