Small tweaks on FMB

PLV Recommendations

CSSI estimate question

Researching rich text editors for Guadalupe

Quill

  • Quill
  • Says it's extensible, vanilla JS, comes with a set of themes, open source
  • Good set of rich text editing
  • methods for getting and putting content
  • 210k
  • IE11 Support

Trix

  • Trix
  • From the basecamp people, open-source
  • IE11 Support
  • Kinda weird, you load in content via a hidden input's value, rather than an API
  • lots of features, but the api is less straightforward
  • 218k

ProseMirror

  • ProseMirror
  • Open source
  • IE11 Support
  • Divided into smaller components so you only use the features you need
  • Less features though
  • Robust API
  • Hard to say what final bundle size would be

Squire

  • Squire
  • minimal, really an add-on for textarea. In my browser, Grammerly recognizes it and kicks in.
  • IE11 ok
  • basically just edits an HTML file through an iFrame?
  • only 50k
  • but probably not robust enough for us

simditor

  • simditor
  • larger at 380k, but claims it's really fast
  • It's jquery 😦
  • also utilizes textarea
  • not a ton of methods

Trumbowyg

  • Trumbowyg
  • honestly, going to skip it since it's a jQuery dependency
  • well, man, it's so small though 25k
  • jquery is at 86k minified, so that's like 110.
  • lots of plugins
  • (Vue version)[https://github.com/ankurk91/vue-trumbowyg]

Front-end stack research for Guadalupe

  • Do we need to support IE11?
  • Could we throw some money to some open source things?
  • what does the home page look like with no trends?

Nuxt

  • obvious choice based on my experience
  • PWA Support
  • MIT Licensed
  • Try using typescript in vue?
  • Try moving more styles into components

Next.JS

  • maybe look into it, Facebook is still a turnoff for me.

Vue.JS

  • plainer vue start?

Svelte

  • probably too big of a learning curve for now

Angular

  • lack of Website schtuff is what hurts here

Another web thing with Angular or Vue apps inside?

Refactoring my Cloudinary and Airtable work on TAP from last week. Adding filesize check, adding e-mail notification.

  • Email not working. 😦

Company meeting
