Increasing the modularity of Web Pentimento's codebase

Pentimento is an editor for handwritten video lectures. Its purpose is to allow users to record actions in real-time while providing non-chronological editing capabilities. However, the original Pentimento program only runs on Mac computers. In an attempt to make Pentimento more generally accessible, we are creating a browser-based version of the program. We refer to this version as Web Pentimento. Handwritten video lectures are largely based in online education, so Web Pentimento will bring editing closer to the online playback environment. It also allows for future possibilities, such as real-time collaboration. We treat Web Pentimento as an opportunity to write an application that is more accessible, modular, and extensible than the original Pentimento. The contribution of this thesis involves implementing a more intuitive code architecture, incorporating event managers, and introducing new classes.
