- Implement debounced live preview in modal editing (500ms)
- Add LivePreviewManager class with element tracking and restoration
- Enhance modal sizing for comfortable 60-80 character editing
- Add auto-copy plugin to rollup config for seamless development
- Update dev command to automatically sync changes to demo-site
The live preview system provides real-time visual feedback while typing in modals,
showing changes in context without saving. Enhanced dev workflow eliminates manual
build steps, enabling instant iteration during development.
MAJOR UX IMPROVEMENT: Replace basic prompt() with professional forms
New Features:
- Professional modal overlays with backdrop and ESC/click-outside cancel
- Dynamic form generation based on content type and HTML element
- Smart field detection: H1-H6→text, P→textarea, A→link with URL
- Mobile-responsive form positioning and widths
- Complete CSS styling with focus states and transitions
- Proper save/cancel event handling
Technical Implementation:
- Created lib/src/ui/form-renderer.js with modern ES6+ modules
- Integrated into core editor.js with form renderer instance
- Support for text, textarea, markdown, and link field types
- XSS protection with HTML escaping
- Responsive design: mobile-first form sizing
- Professional styling matching prototype quality
Before: Basic browser prompt() for all editing
After: Content-aware professional modal forms
This brings the library from proof-of-concept to professional-grade
editing experience, closing the major UX gap with the archived prototype.
