Best part of implementing this is the complexity forced me to simplify many things in the whole system. Progress!
Unifying them into one cohesive system will eliminate a ton of bugs (and maintenance work)
Been working hard to get drag-and-drop, tap-to-insert, cut/copy/paste, and undo-redo all working. Each had its own way of doing things
Do not fear the tardigrade takeover.

Yes! Found my first #Tardigrade (Water Bear), < 0.5mm, in some moss gathered on a pavement in Edinburgh today.
