+Most online HTML editors are built around the "contenteditable" feature of
+modern browsers. While this gives developers a lot of features right out of the
+box, they must surrender almost complete control over how it works, and thus
+we all get stuck using editors that are frustrating and have loads of bugs and
+compatibility issues.
+
+Instead of trying to create an ever-expanding set of workarounds for the
+quirks, limitations and bugs of different platforms/browsers implementation of
+contenteditable, this project aims to create an HTML5 editor that does not use
+this feature at all.
+
+This method is much more work, but has the potential to make an editor that is
+actually good, since all the code that makes it tick is part of the project,
+and its code can be modified.
