I could not agree more; especially with the vi advice. I'm still a work in progress, but I agree this would be cool. (I have `ESC` remapped to `JJ` and I find myself trying to exit insert mode in emails, papers, etc. all the time...)

I've also structured the site in a way so that it kind of has a schema for each article and the next step was to write a little client so one could read from a terminal.

Baked into my design philosophy is "reuse" hence not opting for a custom light-to-dark-toggle. Thanks for this though, I'd just reminds me I gotta keep it up ha. Do you think browsing in the terminal would be a hassle for people?

I'm also trying not to go too far overboard, thanks!

No. the basics of the site make this close to zero cost and proof-by-example is the alternate textual views of the site which just work (tm)

I am trying not to be a google fanboi, but the ubiquitous consistency of keyboard accelerators in gmail, photos, docs, &c by google is one of the reasons I enjoy using their tools. They "get" keyboard warriors, in the browser.

I like that. I feel similarly towards apple products. The consistency of these google products &/or the seamless-ness of apple products means that I can focus on what's important to me.

Good tools feel like good tools. Had to re-read,"ubiquitous consistency," nice. Thanks for the value added.
