I had to create an account just to ask whether you're being serious with that color choice for the signup link? -.-

I just created this. Please let me know what you think, or if you have any suggestions for improvement.

The “create one here” link is almost impossible to read even for a person with normal eyesight like me. You may want to rethink your color choices. But the basic idea is that light text goes with a dark background and dark text goes with a light background. If the letters are black in the background is really dark (as in your footer) then they are really hard to read.

@anna_0x Thanks for the feedback, Anna. I just pushed a change that makes the footer text and signup link more readable (took your advice on light text on dark background and vice-versa). For now the main color scheme is the same; I'm open to specific suggestions though, this is just something I generated using https://coolors.co/

@djnicholson Alright, easier to read now (footer text still hard though, it doesn't pass accessibility standards). I am not one to give color palette suggestions because it's not my strong suit at all! But accessibility is important 😉 Since you're not great with colors either, I suggest using a pre-made color palette instead of generating one. You can try https://colorhunt.co/ (so you can be sure that the colors look nice together). Still, don't forget the basics: dark text on light background or vice versa.

What benefit does decentralising bookmarks give?

@gregjwww if the service disappears you still have a JSON file containing all your bookmarks. There's also no way your usage can be censored (e.g. blocking the bookmarking of certain links). It's kind of academic though - this was just my Hello World for getting familiar with the Blockstack platform. Thanks for checking it out.

There's An AI For That

Bookmarks are usually stored locally. Why would I want to move them to the blockchain?

@andrei_nedelcu you could use this to share your bookmarks between multiple devices. BTW: Technically your bookmarks aren't going on a blockchain, but a blockchain is used to secure the identity used to encrypt your bookmarks.
