OP here. Yes, you're right about the front-lit screen. Sorry about that, corrections where already made.

OP here. It actually is pretty dimable at the point that you can read comfortably at a totally dark room.

Yeah, catching up is always an issue, I've already stayed behind in my master branch, which is unfortunate.

I'm seeing myself eventually building a custom configuration from the ground up.

Why, thank you sir!

When I tried the vintage mode in Sublime Text, I already had some knowledge about vim and its behavior. I find that the vintage mode was restricting me, which exactly the opposite of what it's supposed to do.

> I don't think I could've made it this far by diving in head first.

That's exactly my point! Take it easy and don't go hardcore from the first day. You'll get annoyed right away and you'll go back to Sublime Text in 10 mins.

Yeah, Janus is very complicated but maximum-awesome is very simple, just a vimrc and some plugins.

I do suggest although you read the "Practical Vim" book, it has some real scenarios in there.

I dig it, but I wonder if this is even possible. I mean, each site has its specific password page and weird configuration.

Will it be possible to build something scalable enough?

Hey, thanks for commenting. Lemme try to answer some of your questions.

> 3. Colours is the single most important thing of design

Colors are indeed the important aspect of design, but they're also hard to choose and understand. In general, you have to know some things about colour theory when choosing a palette. I'd recommend to you to choose a popular palette from the sites I referred to in the article. Another option is to find a nice presentation and copy its palette. Speaker Deck is definitely your go-to choice for this.

>Just a tip here: not all palettes work well for a presentation. Firstly, some palettes have too much contrast.

Contrast is (simply put) the difference between two colors. It is often used to create vivid and colorful images, example: http://www.flickr.com/photos/louisgely/4409863711/in/photost.... That might work great for art and photography, but it's not easy for our eyes. In fact, when you're having a too contrasty palette it might look great on your computer but it will be difficult for viewers to read it comfortably. Also, consider that the projectors usually have different color profiles and not having enough contrast could become an even bigger problem. Generally you need a nice balanced palette eg. https://speakerdeck.com/geeforr/whats-new-in-ruby-2-dot-0. Finally, when you're using only black and white in your palette, everything looks plain and emotionless, at least to me.

To conclude, colors are hard but there are ways to find good palettes around.

P.S.: I should edit my original post and clarify these things, add some examples as well.

So true. That includes font sizes as well. I tend to use max. 3 font sizes

I have plans on adding support for mobile and to make it responsive in the near future.

Thanks for the feedback!

I couldn't have said it better :)

Check this out it might help you expand your app http://www.html5rocks.com/en/features/offline

You're right but, I guess that the storage limits are sufficient for a simple note-taking app.

You can probably add some localStorage support in your app, saving a list of all created notes and some basic edit functionality. Perhaps, you can add Gist support as well (just throwing ideas around).

Very neat infographic.
