Fun to play with. Most surprising is the auto-indent when typing Clojure code.

The #1 missing feature is the ability to select a different typeface. #2 would be the ability to serve up an image from a URL like a pastebin or a-la speedtest.net speed test (https://www.speedtest.net/result/10946633415.png)

Looks great! I know it should have been more obvious, but I didn't realize the text was editable. I was looking for an 'upload your code' button. Maybe put one of those "Try Me!" badges with an arrow pointing to the code like on toy boxes?

It's par for the course with Apple-esque UIs. Like the classic "invisible scrollbar"[0] that prevents you from knowing you can scroll something down and see more. Form > Function

Good feedback! We got a similar request for the title. Gonna look into how we can improve it

How can you make text look editable?

We wanted to keep the customisations simple that’s also why we have curated colors.
