It’s really nice to see innovation in this area. I feel grateful for this work.

Here comes my UX notes

Things I like:

- Publish to the cloud 
- Able to copy-paste the content of the box with feedback
- Encourages inspect of that very instance (this one was really good!)
- transforms the printed result to comment.
- clicking in the workspace makes the result disappear (good!)
- full selects the comment after enter so a second enter can clean it
- the shared snipped page has syntax highlight

Things that I see can be improved:

- the shared snippet page has a terrible design, the contrast issue is probably 
the most severe, being unclean the second one
- the printed result transformed to comment gets injected at the cursor 
position and that functionality doesn’t really make much sense (having it 
printed always at the end of the line you make more sense for example).
- the inspect button doesn’t look like a button and doesn’t change the cursor 
on hover
- No undo on cmd-z (this one feels like a deal-breaker)
- The tab for me is a redundant feature with an unclean title (we have how to 
recall different workspaces from the bottom bar already)
- The icon to publish to the cloud looks like download from the cloud (arrow 
points down instead of up)
- The inspector is surprisingly complex and abuses the use of tabs
- The inspector for Dictionary by default hides a naive observation of the 
object and assumes that a “smart” object aware presentation hiding behind a 
click the tree-like observation of instvars.
- Also in inspector the icon for browse looks like a document, doesn’t feel 
like a match

good work!
