Lots of great improvements
Improving button styling is nice but at this stage in the evolution of the project I think it would make sense to add a little abstraction to the process of styling h5p libraries. For instance when you have something like:
.h5p-guess-answer{
background-color: #FFF;
text-align: center;
}
Wouldn't it be better to have global classes rather than classes specific to libraries? Like:
base-styling.css
.hp5-background-light {
background-color: #fff;
}
.hp5-background-dark {
background-color: #000;
}
Then you could allow a library to override the base styling in the library file like this:
either
"baseCSS": default,
or
"baseCSS": [
{
"path": "mybrandedtheme.css"
}
],
In which case "mybrandedtheme.css" might look like this:
.hp5-background-light {
background-color: #f5f5f5;
}
.hp5-background-dark {
background-color: #333;
}
This enables a few things. First of all, the users base css ("mybrandedtheme.css") could be applied as an add-on to any number of libraries. Second, because the global styles in baseCSS are generic they might apply to several elements eg. ".background-light" might apply to the entire background but also to light button backrgrounds against a dark image. Then the user could add more specific classes to the librarys' css file that build off of the base styling.

Sounds Great!
Hello h5p, I am really excited about what can be done with your software. I have a couple questions:
1. Do you have an expected release date for these UX upgrades?
2. Is there a overall changelog I can follow for h5p as a whole?
3. I found a bug with the timeline content type and hope you can look into it: https://h5p.org/node/4475
4. When do you plan on releasing a paid version? This is a great project but it is very buggy as shown above. With products like this, there is ALWAYS a direct correlation between funding for the project and project quality. I'd hate to see h5p end up in the trash bin because you're not being properly funded. I would gladly pay for this product should it be properly supported and constantly updated with bug fixes and features.
Regards,
Doctor John
