this repository's history demonstrates the evolution of a client-side JavaScript widget from a somewhat naive implementation into a more elegant, reusable and framework-agnostic module

while it's useful that JavaScript allows highly procedural code, as this encourages and simplifies experimentation, that style often significantly hampers maintainability - so this is an attempt to illustrate the path from the former to the latter

the implementation is not intended to be perfect, but merely to highlight significant structural aspects for education purposes
