Very good result. Really good video! Like'd it much.

Some questions:

  1. Whats your tech stack here?
  2. I saw a loading indicator in textarea when you wrote demo data - what did you use there? Is this somekind a JS plugin? I saw something similar in one Atlassian product.

Thanks!

  1. The back end is Ruby, using Sinatra, and SQLite3 and ActiveRecord for the database. I used Bootstrap when writing the front end.

  2. That loading indicator is actually just the Grammarly plugin that I have installed in my Chrome browser. It appears in every textarea I type into, and I neglected to disable it.
