jlisandro asked: Hi!

I'm really enjoying pen.io. I believe this will become a great tool for my students. I'm sure pen.io has the power to change their relation to the writing activities. Thanks to all the people who made this possible!!

vampie asked: Hi,

Is their a way we can see the views on our own pages?

Anyway, keep up the good work.
Lovely service you've created :-)
