    Great news to hear Lexical replacing Draft. Also great that you're handling `beforeinput` (like Slate). I work on a text expander browser extension and supporting Draft is a pain[1…

    CouchApps had a better vision for the web. You would run a local CouchDB and replicate the app next to your data, rather then giving the app access to your data while hosted somewh…

    I built something very similar a while ago: https://github.com/ghinda/jotted I'd say it's more lightweight by default (it's not mandatory to use an editor like CodeMirror) and more…

    Sure, because of the plugin support it shouldn't get too complicated. You can use strings instead of urls, for files. So you could do something like: loadFromS3(function (fileConte…

    I don’t want to sound like a broken record, but Webkit was originally a fork of KHTML, which is LGPL, so they were required/forced to release it under the same license. And based o…

    I'm surprised nobody mentioned https://www.passwordmaker.org/ . It takes a different approach, but works surprisingly well.

    90s? I was still building "DHTML menus"[1] with IE filters[2] in ~2003. Don't know if proud or ashamed. I used to use an editor called Arachnophilia [3], which surprisingly is stil…
