##Contribution Guide I am currently open to contributors! Email me if you are looking for a task, or look at the open issues and reply that you are working on a task.

The p5.js Web Editor is built on a MERN stack - MongoDB, Express, React/Redux, and Node. For a reference to the file structure format I am using, please look at the Mern Starter and this comment.

This project does not use CSS Modules, but uses Sass. I like to follow BEM rules for CSS naming conventions, write OOSCSS with placeholders and mixins, and follow the 7-1 Pattern for Sass.

I'm new to using ESLint, but I decided on a configuration based on some popular React/Redux boilerplates. Open to suggestions on this. If in development, you're getting annoyed with ESLint, you can remove it from webpack.config.dev.js in the JavaScript loader, or disable any line from eslint by commenting at the end of the line // eslint-disable-line.
