Well, I was one of the people who commented on the alias stuff, merely from having checked screenshots. Your approach to things looks nifty. I adapted tahoe's default css to have a compromise between the hardcoded-light-background style and something that doesn't hurt my eyes. My first approach was to go old-style, dark background, less contrast, the all-in-wonder-no-eye-cancer-guaranteed-thingy but that didn't work at all on the tech-heavy pages. > I'm not sure how much people actually care about these sorts of > features, but it's built using a "responsive" layout that will > gracefully degrade to many different screen sizes, so for example > it's easily viewable on smartphones. Well, let's try and see what kinda feedback you'll get. I like the coloured dots, stating the status. Intuitive, and easy on the layout. However, one might want to consider an optional some-sort-of 'tech' parameter (in config or via URI) to also show tubids/IP:ports. I've grown accustomed to such things and I agree with Ted that a nickname-based sorting would be nice :) -- left blank, right bald
