Hi, thanks, that looks quite nice. But I found the start screen started a bit confusing, as I didn't know what to do there (e.g. what is the difference between Play and Play online, what are those Boba icons?). Also not clear why I should create an account. You may want to share to the wider community using reddit (/r/vim).
