I'm far from having any real legal knowledge on the matter, but I suppose copying the look and feel is different from looking so much the same that people might miss that they are two different projects. There are probably also some difuse border between look and feel and branding.

They almost lost me with the location selection... The world is a big place to only show 5 or 6 cities. then they lost me with that sequence of anonymous > please register. How's this even anonymous? either they are not linking the previous step to this one so there's no point in registering or they are lying about the anonymous part.

in the command line all unixes/linuxes Are pretty much the same. Personally I only run linux on VPSes and ocasonally in a raspberry pi for fun. Always only using the command line. so for distros anything really, ubuntu, debian, arch, centos, puppy... . for shell session tmux or screen.

With retina displays what I personally found out was that having a retina display made my secundary screen partly useless, I just split the screen in half. Recently I also switched from atom to neovim and navigating files via text input, moving the importance of the screen from the "input part" to the "confirm action after input part". If my code got better... I would say screen size would be my worst possible excuse. :)

I was once a fan of mind maps but then stoped using them. I guess my mind evolved to some other way of organization but I always tought this kind of tool could be interesting. One thing though mind maps almost always make me grind my teeth is how most applications Have such poor defaults in terms of aestethics.

love the simplicity put in this little tool. Incredibly easy to remember, gives the answer you need 95% of the times, makes it very easy to contribute with new stuff.

I once used sikuli to extract a table from a pdf. Pretty funny way of hacking a fast solution for a problem. It's a pretty powerful tool but not very stable. IDE is also not so exciting but gets the job done. Pretty excited to see how far this project will go.
