I would suggest offering some existing/known color schemes to make modifications to and the ability to share custom color schemes.

Thanks for the suggestions! I added them to GitHub Issues.

Very well done. The UI is lacking a bit of contrast, though, especially the "light" variant.

Thank you. (I love Coltrane’s music by the way.)

Are you referring to the default color scheme UI or the web app UI? Or both?

The web app's UI. I think the colors themselves would be OK with a regular font but the current one is so thin that it's barely visible. You should advertise your tool to other vim-leaning communities, like r/vim on reddit.

It's very neat.

Thanks for clarifying. I understand that it‘s a bit on the light side, and I will at the very least consider changing it to something more visible.

Ah, Reddit. Of course. Will do. ;)

Thanks!

I liked it. But a little description on top as to what it is will be great :)

Cool, thanks!

Although it might be less visible than having the description to the right of the heading, there is a description in the initial file that is shown. I want to keep the UI as uncluttered as possible, so I think I’ll keep it like this.
