A text-and-drawing editor intended for the simultaneous usage with a pencil-using tablet device (for drawing) and a keyboard-using personal computer (for writing), implemented in the form of a Flask server with TypeScript backend code. The text-and-drawing projects are saved as JSON files and can be exported as HTML files.
# 1st: Install node.js, e.g., from https://nodejs.org/
# (use the LTS version since TypeScript is optimized for it)
# and add node.js to your system's PATH (you can select it, e.g., in the
# graphical installer)
# 2nd: Install and test TypeScript *as root/sudo/administrator* via:
npm install -g typescript
tsc
# 3rd: Install Anaconda or Miniconda via, e.g., https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual
# 4th: Install basic_server
git clone https://github.com/Paulocracy/basic_server
cd basic_server
conda env create -n basic_server -f environment.yml
conda activate basic_server
pip install simple-websocket
# 5th: Test basic_server either (on Windows) with...
./run.bat
# ...or (on Linux) with...
./run.sh
# Optional further test: Check if you can access
# the server from other devices in your local network.
# If this is not the case, you have to allow the basic_server
# conda enivronment's Python binary to go through your
# system's firewall for private networks. Make sure that
# your local network is marked as a private network.
The canvas element logic was initially inspired (and is now nearly completely changed) by:

- HTTPS integration protocol?
- Bulma as responsive CSS style kit?
- Explain "id" and "base id" in the TypeScript code?
- Typing for single widgets and the widget list by using classes and enums?
- Follow a specific TS/JS style guide
- Write documentation
