Design Decisions

Friend Feedback

• David: Color -> Bad
• Sam: Font -> Bad
• Both: daringfireball -> college kid feeling
• David: bootstrap.com -> more professional feeling

Development Decisions

• purely client-side driven app
• elm to html/js compilation
• static css in .css stylesheet
• nginx server

Version Numbers

Version numbers are essentially SemVer, except that I use semantic names, for the version roles, e.g. “Breaking.Feature.Fix” instead of “Major.Minor.Patch”.
