    5KB is amazing. I thought that this would be a great replacement for bootstrap-wysihtml5 until i saw IE missing from your browsers list. Btw, for the drag and drop inserting of ima…

    Thats pretty cool. I'm currently doing the same at Ko Phangan in Thailand spending almost the same (well, maybe a couple of dollars more per day). And i've been more productive wor…
