WA Fronted (or just “Fronted“) is a frontend editor for WordPress. It’s a free and open source project with a goal to enhance usability and convenience of editing content.

> The core concept with Fronted is that theme and plugin developers incorporate their configuration filter and/or add-on in their plugin or theme. However since version 1.3.5, it will automatically configure itself to make `post_content`, `post_title` and `post_thumbnail` editable if no other options are set.

## Documentation

## Collaboration notes
* I'm using Sass for styling and [PrePros](https://prepros.io/) for compiling (there's a free version if you wanna check it out, but any SASS and JS compiler should work)
* JS files are minified and concatenated with [PrePros](https://prepros.io/), so without it you'll have to load the other js files individually (see `@prepros` comments in the beginning of scripts.js)
* I'm using [Bower](http://bower.io/) for keeping the following libraries up to date:
  * [jQuery Timepicker Addon](https://github.com/trentrichardson/jQuery-Timepicker-Addon)
  * [Tipso](https://github.com/object505/tipso)
  * [Toastr](https://github.com/CodeSeven/toastr)
  * [Select2](https://select2.github.io/)
  * [Rangy](https://github.com/timdown/rangy)
* Core features should be free and open source
* Comment your code
