| This seems like a neat idea! I like it too.

| Hi Max,
|
| Great effort! Minor feedback:
|
| - When I click on the "+ New" icon on the left, I would expect to
| be able to create a new text snippet. But I'm stuck on the
| "Welcome to Drift" page (I'm on Safari). - When I click "Add A
| File" I get another entire instance of the editing window.

| Instead cometh the downvote army... also, boo.
