We really appreciate you taking the time to write this thoughtful response out.\n\nI'll go in order\n\nWe've thought about adding some 'new deck' options and I feel like this would fit right into that. Stuff like making import easier to use, etc. I really like this idea and we'll (most likely) be doing something like this when we add those new deck options."},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"Both of these options can be done by clicking the settings button on the bottom toolbar.

Our concern as always is just overloading users with too much information and the UI becoming cluttered.

I think this will just need a bit more thought on our end though. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nThanks so much for the feedback, it means a ton to us.
