@Ben Warzeski (Deactivated)

• TextEditor update

  • There are some complicated nuances here that will require extra effort/scope to bring this into Paragon due to TinyMCE implementation.

  • [question] What are the security risk of certain things like TinyMCE?

    • Notably, for the end user (e.g., injecting an alert)

    • In collaboration with Security Working Group

    • E.g., stripping <script> tags

  • May not be a UI component per se, but more so a higher level component

• More generally, where are the security holes in our Paragon component library?

• At least for the short term, we should add a drag-n-drop component for designers in Figma (@Gabriel Weinberg)

@Adam Stankiewicz

• We have a Segment source created and events are coming through

• Google Analytics is still TBD

@Gabriel Weinberg

Let’s zoom out on Paragon…

• where did we come from, and where are we going?

• Does any of the work we’re doing help support business goals like LTV, etc.?

• Organisms components

• Paragon is a design system for “learning applications”

  • But do we actually have components specific to learning applications?

    • e.g., is a rubric / wizard / file manager / video preview a component?

  • What does open source truly mean for us?

• @Gabriel Weinberg put together a few slides to document where we are, and where we could go, document common some pain points,

• Ideally, we can also jam with stickies session on this list.

  • Fears/Concerns

  • Opportunities

  • Things we’d like to see

• Evangelize more frontend devs across the org.
