How do you delete this?
by Rohan Tuli, 2013-08-01

Allow the user to upload a URL to use a background image as a background instead of just colour. Also, when the user clicks on 'Sorted' to organize their links alphabetically, it doesn't remain 'sorted' it always changes back to 'Unsorted'. This needs to be fixed as well. A very sharp and sexy looking app. Make these changes and I'll give it 5 stars.
