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 )

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 [0] https://svenkadak.com/blog/scrollbar-blindness
How can you make text look editable?

#16This is awesome! Would love the ability to alter the background of the window beyond light & dark.

The goal for most people is to strike a balance between form and function. In my opinion, I personally think you should always err on more function than form, but the Apple-esque UI design philosophy tends to favor form over function - you know, getting rid of "ugly" UI elements that traditionally telegraphed functionality.

We wanted to keep a native-like feel. Anything specific in mind? More color ranges?
The dark/light definitely look good on most palettes regardless, so great defaults.

#19Why? There is already Carbon ( https://carbon.now.sh ) for that.

#20My only suggestion is these code snippets are fire on Twitter for a lot of people getting their RT/likes/following on.
Specifically, that means maybe adding an option for forcing some sizes that are ideal for share graphics (width/height, auto font-size, auto centering, etc..). Take the guess work out of it. Good luck!
