Additional features, more user-friendly UI #120

Thanks for sharing! It's amazing to me so many folks are still hacking on and adding to this codebase. I would say it would've been "more ideal" if the commits were more granular: I maintain a Scrumblr fork, and I might be interested in some of these changes but not all of them, and having all of these varied changes in a single commit makes it hard to tell what is what. |

Yea it would have been better if I had the intentions of publicly releasing my changes from the beginning however as we're using it internally within the team I work with they originally wanted to keep the revisions private for our own use. |

Getting this error when I try to test: /Users/ali/workspace/scrumblr/server.js:365 TypeError: db.getFont is not a function |
Having modified the application adding features I feel needed to be improved upon I figured I'd share them.
File based support
The one main issue I faced was working on AIX unfortunately Redis is not supported so I modified the application to utilize NodeJS and created a file system which writes room data in JSON to individual files.
Moved and updated toolbar
Using Scrumblr one issue faced was with tall boards the toolbar would be out of view making it difficult to add new cards, which is why the new design has a static toolbar which follows the page on the right hand side.
Additional card size
A very large card option was also added in case you're looking to write longer notes.
Font options
This updated version also includes new toolbar options to cycle through various fonts, and additionally change the font size on the cards.
Password protect
If your implementation is running in the public domain you may not want everyone to be able to view your board depending on how confidential the information is. A toolbar option was added allowing you to lock the board with a password so if the page is visited it must be entered otherwise the board will not load.
