This was SO helpful. Thank you so much!
Immediately I realize that we need placeholder text in the textarea. Just tried to do it but actually requires a CodeMirror plugin, so will have to tackle tomorrow (https://github.com/breck7/scroll/issues/135).
I was rooting for you to press a keyboard key that would trigger the autocomplete, such as "n", and then it may have clicked, but so helpful to see your (painful) experience so I know we need to surface that better, and provide more guidance.
Tomorrow's version should be a lot better.
Thanks again!!!
Also, appreciated the commentary on the blog post. Definitely not my best writing, and I will clean that up at some point too.
This made my day. Thank you.
