OP! Nice of you to ship this. We need more of editors and self publishing platforms.
I tried creating an editor a few years ago at my last job [1]. It is really hard to get all things correct when implementing your editor, with all quirks that contendeditable has.

Re:How we do Vue at GitLab: one year later
on Friday November 10, 2017 @03:39PM (#15672788)
At my last job we did a comparison between Vue and React before rewriting a major frontend application.
We did a POC in both React/Vue and ended up using Vue mainly due to the following reasons:
Single File Components
Single file components (.vue files) is the best thing about Vue. I understand this might be a personal preference, but we wanted to avoid CSS-IN-JS. Our designer could churn out neat html/css, but was a beginner in Javascript. With Vue's single file components, he could also hack parallely with us while iterating on html/css.
Standard / Official way of doing things
This again is a personal preference but Vuejs comes with a recommended way to do a majority of things. Vuex(state management) and Vue-Router are provided/maintained by same Vue core team.
React at times can be overwhelming for beginnners, just because of the amount of choice available
Example:
Google Search for 'React CSS style' [https://www.google.co.in/search?q=react+css+style] points to a bunch of links all of which link to valid solutions, but I have to go through a few of them before I get what I am looking for.
Similar search for 'Vue CSS style' [https://www.google.co.in/search?q=vue+css+style] all top links lead to official documenation on vuejs.org.
Excellent documentation
Also, as a team we were primarily writing Angular 1 when we decided to choose a frontend framework for newer projects. I feel this also made our transition to Vue easier vis a vis React
Re:Ask HN: Do you internationalize/localize your apps?

We havent yet released the product, so we dont really have metrics around usage from international users.
We could launch English only for now, making sure that the application is ready to be internationalized in the future.

Real time coding interviews are really necessary to avoid hiring people who dont have basic proficiency in coding ( https://blog.codinghorror.com/why-cant-programmers-program/)
The problem given in a coding interview should be a simple one and the candidate should be allowed to choose the solution language.

OpenPicker is an open source and self hosted file picker for websites.
I would like to ship Facebook image upload integration to OpenPicker this month.
To hack on this, basic experience with NodeJs/Express, CoffeeScript and Angular1.0 should be enough.

SumoMe is not exactly free(they have paid upgrades as you suggested). The differentiating factor is the WYSIWYG pop builder which lets you completely customize the popup to match your website.
Re:Show HN: ExitIntent – Convert bouncing visitors to leads and customers
on Monday August 04, 2014 @03:40PM (#8133609)
We do use ExitIntent on our site. Please click on "See it in action" link below. We kept it like this so that if user wants to see the demo multiple times , they can see it working. The actual exitintent wouldn't work if user wanted to see it multiple times, as popups are shown only once per user per site

Thanks a lot for your feedback.
As of now it does trigger on moving your mouse towards to the address bar, we would fix this soon.
Re:Show HN: ExitIntent – Convert bouncing visitors to leads and customers

Thanks for your feedback
I agree that these popups might seem spammy. To avoid this ExitIntent popups are shown only once per user per site(or until you decide to reset the cookies)
We built the WYSIWYG editor with predesigned templates so that it would be easy for anyone to run popup campaigns.The idea is to help people generate leads from exiting visitors, and a popup campaign is one of the ways to do it.

Hi HN,
We have built ExitIntent to help reduce bounce rates and convert exiting visitors to leads. We have tried to make it very simple for anyone to run popup campaigns on their sites. Would love to get the feedback of the community.
