CROSSWORD (KOREADER PLUGIN)
Overview
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Once again, my partner is up to no good. She got me hooked on
crossword puzzles, which we do in the morning before getting out of
bed. In keeping with my usual habitus, once bitten by a new bug I go
all-in. So now I'm building a crossword plugin for my Kobo that will
let me play through the archives of NYT crosswords.

I've finished this plugin well enough to have enjoyed solving
crosswords in bed for the past week. Suffice to say I am quite
delighted by the results of the plugin and the quality of the code!
Although it was a bit more labor-intensive, compartmentalizing even
the smallest bits of functionality (like a history menu) made
development fairly painless.

So I fixed the issue I was having with KOReader's virtual keyboard not
working for my particular situation. I've since made some great
strides with the plugin. Yay!

As the story goes, I'm having a bit of trouble with KOReader's virtual
keyboard and input containers. So I'm putting this project on hold for
a while, at least until I can deconstruct the virtual keyboard module
and figure out how to rewire it (so to speak) for this project's need.
