Simple. Minimal.

The code is written in Perl, and Redis is used for storage.

Props for using Redis. I've been hacking on a project that uses Redis only and it's been an enjoyable experience.

I have to agree with mean anonymous comment guys that the interface could use some work, though. Too much whitespace, and I personally don't care for the grey background.

The layout is the hardest part for me - but yes I agree it needs work.

I've killed the whitespace in the index and reset it to black on white for the moment. I'll have to work on the layout some more over the next couple of days.

Redis is very pleasant to use..
