Hack Night: Build a Text Editor!

For this meetup, we will be building a basic text editor with the ability to:

• write, copy and paste text to the content area
• highlight text and style the text as bold, italic, or funky

We’ll explore the clipboard and Range APIs:

• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Interact_with_the_clipboard
• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Range

…and we’ll use CanJS to handle events and build a reusable component!

Come as early as 6:30—we’ll start hacking around 7pm. Please bring your laptop to follow along! Snacks will be provided by Bitovi. Thank you to Codesmith for hosting us!
