Suggestion: perhaps the Edit and Delete buttons should be moved below an entry's title? #261

At the moment, the "Edit Entry" and "Delete Entry" buttons appear above an entry's title, and there's a fair amount of whitespace between the end of one entry, these two buttons, and the start of the next entry. (I was going to attach a screenshot, but then realised that the scratchpad is private whereas this pensieve repo is public) Although I don't actively use the Scratchpad myself, when reading a long entry, perhaps it's not immediately obvious that the "Edit" button you see when you scroll down would actually edit the next entry, and not the one you've just been reading?

IMHO placing the Edit and Delete buttons below an entry's title (whilst still having them right-aligned) would make it much more obvious which entry they apply to. Also, when jumping directly to an entry via a permalink (e.g. https://resin-io.github.io/scratchpad/#031e89a0-e3dd-11e7-9cb9-075f3101bf9a ) it would mean that the Edit button for that entry would immediately be visible, and not "off the top of the page".
