Improvements

Syntax Highlighting

Underline links in Markdown — ⇄ #71 (⊶ 2895e63) by @octref
↠ Links in Markdown documents are now underlined to make them more visually appealing and prevent rendering inconsistencies that might occur because VS Code's tokenizer is much faster than the linkifying in Markdown causing delays while typing.

UI

Quick picker group borders — #100 ⇄ #103 (⊶ 5ba2ac5) by @octref
↠ Nord now highlights borders of groups within the view quick panel again for a better visual distinction and to make it easier to immediately determine what group a specific item is in.
The separators have been disabled in the first place because it made the whole drop-down look divided and broken into multiple pieces and a bit cluttered instead of smooth transitions into the next section. It was still distinguishable through the names of the labels on the right.
However, it was hard to see which item on the left is on the same level as the label to immediately determine what the next item's group.

After

Font color for labels of view quick panel — #109 ⇄ #110 (⊶ 04a9ddf)
↠ Labels of the view quick panel are now colorized with nord8 instead of nord4 to make them stand out more. This improvement was born out of a conversation with @octref in #100.

Workflow

Replaced Gulp with npm scripts — #73 ⇄ #84 (⊶ 68c33d0)
↠ Completely replaced Gulp with npm scripts. Even though Gulp is a great tool to create simple or complex build workflows with streams, there are also many drawbacks:

• Gulp plugins often get out of date and don't support new features from the underlying library.
• The project depends on the Gulp plugin author and not the library that is being wrapped.
• Documentation for Gulp plugins are typically not very robust or comprehensive.
• Debugging a Gulp plugin can be frustrating (“Is the problem in the plugin or in the underlying library?“).
• If a plugin doesn't exist already for Gulp you need to write it yourself.
• Errors that occur inside a Gulp wrapper aren't always handled very well.

All currently implemented Gulp tasks have therefore been migrated to npm scripts by directly using the CLI API of the wrapped library.

Updated CI build configurations — #83 ⇄ #85 (⊶ 9eac763)
↠ Updated the Circle CI build configuration to the new API version 2.0. Also both Circle CI and Travis CI are now configured to test against the latest NodeJS version.

Prettier — #76 ⇄ #86 (⊶ 6f2ace5)
↠ Integrated Prettier, an awesomes opinionated code formatter that enforces a consistent style across a large amount of languages by parsing the code and re-printing it.

Arctic Ice Studio ESLint rule set — #75 ⇄ #87 (⊶ c9e0c93)
↠ The default rule set coming with ESLint has been replaced with Arctic Ice Studio's custom rule set that adheres to the Arctic Ice Studio JavaScript code style.

Arctic Ice Studio remark-lint rule preset — #74 ⇄ #88 (⊶ 02721f0)
↠ The default rule set coming with remark-lint has been replaced with Arctic Ice Studio's custom rule preset that adheres to the Arctic Ice Studio Markdown code style.
