Great work and thanks for the descriptive README. Are you planning to make the app usable by non programmer users in the future ?

Thank you, I put in a lot of effort in that README, since I've seen a lot of other projects where they have been less than impressive.

I do not have such plan in the near future. A major concern is the cost of supporting such users, and a minor one is the ease of understanding of the basic building blocks (events, topics, structures) since modeling your data using these requires a programmer mindset.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Apologies: it is a desktop app, and so I recorded the demo on [HD resolution]( https://github.com/kaustubh-karkare/glados/blob/master/src/d... ) to make it look as close to my intended experience as possible. I'm assuming you're on mobile, so later today, I'll try making a separate demo video specifically for this case.

On tablet it’s too tiny as well. It did seem like for most of you pr demo about half the screen is blank. I think you could easily reduce the resolution by 1/3 and not confuse the demo at all.

Okay, I had to make a few adjustments, but here is a lower resolution version. I verified that I can read the text easily on my phone.

Better. I can’t decide if the line wrapping on the one element is demonstrating a necessary feature or suggests a little more trickery on sizing. I’d probably leave it but it would secretly bug me.
