Building Editors in the Browser
summary
Built a production collaborative text editor for remote coding interviews, then extends it into rich text as quill.js, implemented in CoffeeScript that compiles to JavaScript and distributed under a BSD license. It ships in a real product (sitebeat → Salesforce), continues as open source, and the core is front-end only. Notes include practical tradeoffs around CoffeeScript vs ES6 and evidence the project actually worked in deployed use.
