       | feels too heavy handed and confusing to the user as to what
       | should be a clickable button etc

       | Looks great, congrats! Feature request: keep all letters in the
       | monospaced grid; do this across styles (so: the letters in
       | headlines and the letters in the body text, or badges, they all
       | should be aligned) and when animating.

       | The loaders should be able to animate with buttery smoothness. On
       | this 5-year-old laptop running firefox on windows, the loader
       | animations are prone to stuttering jank. Perhaps this is just the
       | nature of running an animation through a react reconciler, but
       | also these loaders should be able to go around react without
       | invoking a render function or reconciler.

       | Furthermore, I would like to see a simple email client written
       | using it, which can be controlled using only the keyboard (on
       | mobile devices) or with the mouse (when at home). This seems
       | possible as you have integrated some hotkey event management
       | already.

       | IMAP)
       | 
       | * Inbox view (default) (up/down/PgUp/PgDown)
       | 
       | * Write an email ("W" or "N"ew email or "M"ail)
       | 
       | * Contacts ("C" or "A"ddress book)
       | 
       | * Search ("S" or "F"ind)
       | 
       | * Logout ("Q"uit or e"X"it)
       | 
       | (What I'm after is to re-create the BlackBerry e-mail
       | experience.)
       | 
       | I wonder how much effort this would be, and if I outsourced it,
       | how much that would cost?
