App layout design

Hi rpodcast,

Thanks for making this app and the hard work you put into it. I have some feedback on it as I used it for first time and wish to share user design experience.

what I like:

  • the color picker, just one box should be fine but understand why there is 2
  • view type.

minor adjustments:

  • the font size under header, size 13 would be good.
  • The page needs more padding and margins, as the content is to close to the edges. The bottom of the calendar is in need of some padding

What I find frustrating:

  • the 2 timezones that have no relation to where I live. I understand this app is for planet-wide but the data science streamers are mostly (thus far) are North American based, so can we have UTC 00:00 and an East coast timezone, that way I can subtract 2 hours to know what time in my timezone they stream. Looking at their schedules and trying to figure this all out comparing 2 timezones next to each other was most annoying.
  • timezone could be a selector button, 3 options: East Coast, UTC and Australia that way everyone has a nearby timezone to use. Or drop-down menu of timezone as to make it more user friendly.
  • The video box window has no dismiss, 'x' and in my opinion should be smaller or moved to the bottom or pop-up window.

notes:

  • 2 streamers have 0 vdeos (favstats and wviechtb), with no schedule (right now), I know this is not your problem but odd to have them listed when technically they don't qualify since there is no streamed content at all.

and to not be a negative complainer person, I would like to help in some way on this project, but not sure how to regarding Shiny as this is not something I know much on, but am familiar to HTML/CSS.
