Looks like an interesting idea! I've been thinking about doing something similiar. Couple ideas: - I see a lot of references to "zulip server" in the README. I have no idea what it is and whether I even need it? What I'm really interested in is what the app does, how to run it and how it looks like - Consider swapping the top link to the one pointing to glitch. Much better to see it working rather than pointing to a signup form - Perhaps add a screenshot of the app in the README.md? - Maybe also provide a docker-compose file, so users can quickly try it out? Good stuff! Edit: formatting

  Hi romantomjak, Thanks try it out. I will move the glitch link to the top and see what I can do about adding a nice screenshot. And about zulip, it's a better alternative to slack, irc or gitter. I will see how I can make it better. About the docker file, I personally haven't used docker and I don't think the app requires an dependencies expect for node modules and the app is actually cross-platform and lightweight. So I would like to know what would be benefits of adding a docker-compost file. Lastly, I want to know about how the install flow went If you tried it.

    No problem. The beauty of docker is that I don't need to worry about any installation steps or dependencies whatsoever. You deal with all the setup and I can simply run a container with all the necessary steps already done. Also, it offers some degree of security, because I don't have to run untrusted code on my machine - I can do that in a container. I didn't tried it because of a lack of Dockerfile :)

      Okay, I added docker support to reminder-app. See https://github.com/priyank-p/reminder-app#docker-installation https://github.com/priyank-p/reminder-app#docker-installatio.... Feedback on current docker setup appreciated :)
