A library for rich Google Docs extensions that can integrate with its editor.
Apparently Google is making significant changes to the Docs editor, so this will likely stop working in the next few months.
Docs+ was originally built for Action, an add-on that simplified action item tracking during Google Docs meetings, about two years ago with @adhivd and @wwilliamsshan. Action no longer exists, and I realize that (as far as I can tell) there isn't another good Docs-integration library, so I figured someone else might find use in this part of the Action code.
All code in this repository is licensed under the MIT license.
If you're having trouble using any of the code (or doing anything with Docs, particularly something Action used to do) feel free to reach out! I went through a lot of trial and error with Action and might be able to point you in the right direction.

.The test add-on can act as a template for using Docs+. Clone this repository, then modify manifest.json and test.js to build your add-on!
Docs+ should support modern versions of Firefox and Chrome. Tested in Firefox 68.0.1 and Chrome 76.0.3809.100.
Docs+ allows you to interact with the user's text in the Google Docs Kix editor. A few screenshots of extensions using Docs+:
