karol··on Show HN: TypeScript/React/Vue Window Layout Manager (Tabs, Floating, Popouts)
Nice project. I would appreciate putting some common content in the demo, such as videos, dropdowns, large amount of text and large size text to show how they can be handled.

Also is there a version without window chrome, just panes?

karol··on Protecting your email address via SVG instead of JavaScript
