haroldadmin··on Wordgard: In-browser rich-text editor from the creator of ProseMirror
ProseMirror is an excellent project, but it’s always been a bit awkward using it directly in React. I remember that NYT had to rewrite the renderer to make it work for their use-case.

I wonder how Wordgard compares in this aspect!

haroldadmin··on Toying with Kotlin's Context Receivers
While I really like Kotlin in general, I'm not a fan of this feature. It feels like unnecessary syntax sugar for functions that accept multiple parameters.

Replacing a function call `foo(bar, baz)` with just `foo()` by bringing `bar` and `baz` into context is not meaningfully better in any way. I'd even argue it reduces the readability of the code due to implicit receivers.
