Figma makes it nearly impossible to export in a usable file format, let's see if the link works for you? https://www.figma.com/file/56HViIVw3uBj6gt8Y2mt02/Cool-California?node-id=28%3A21

Looking good, @jeff-follestad! I'd suggest keeping the Cool California branding in the header at all times, and maybe using a highlight on the appropriate icon or just a section header (at the top of the main content area) to indicate where the user is. Other than that, I like the nice clean feel.

Don't know if you want or need to incorporate them, but I replaced the default button-look for the like/dislike controls in my latest push. Really, I'd love to see something better than I came up with.

I was also thinking of using a similar treatment on the tags to what GitHub uses for issue labels, though not multicolored. A single color with a pill shape. On the post edit page, they would have a "+" or "x" in them, depending on whether they could be added or removed, and the ones not yet added would only have the colored border and no fill. Just an idea.

Thanks Michael, despite the lack of pushes I am making progress and really close to being ready to show.

I loved all your suggestions and am incorporating them. I will connect us to Bootstrap for now, and Ben and I can walk that back if he doesn't like it. It simplifies forms, buttons, etc. so much.

This has become a serious app dude, thank you!!!
