Developing new features for a fully-featured web-based email plugin

BEE contacted us to get help developing new features for their BEE Plugin, a popular web-based email plugin for SaaS vendors template editor. In cooperation with their internal development team, we added support for third-party addons and enhanced the plugin with real-time collaborative editing and commenting features.
