 Silver Bullet is written in [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) and built on top of the excellent [CodeMirror 6](https://codemirror.net/) editor component. Additional UI is built using React.js. [ParcelJS](https://parceljs.org/) is used to build both the front-end and back-end bundles. The server backend runs as a HTTP server on node.js using express.
