flutter-quill VS corona_spectator

Two months ago I decided to fork the Quill rich text editor because the architecture is extremely difficult to follow. Since I desperately need for my own project, a strong rich text editor that can be easily extended with more features I took the decision to byte the bullet and refactor Quill from the ground up. There are numerous extremely good features in Quill yet the overall architecture was a total train wreck. In this article I'll be explaining in detail what were the issues and how I attempted to improve them. You can find the source code at Visual Editor Github. I've documented the entire process and I'll be releasing deep dive Flutter architecture episodes at Visual Coding YouTube. Enough shameless plugs, let's get going.

On top of any other points you could make about the project's philosophy or code quality, they just don't communicate very well, as exhibited by this recent issue.

I've noticed that on the slack community nobody seems to be online and almost no answers are given (several months in). It's a pity, Quill is by far the best tool for rich text editing in the flutter ecosystem. However, all help request that I've wrote went unanswered by the maintainer(s?). I've wrote multiple times on their slack an no answers were given. Many other users seem to have the same issue. If I look at the github tickets many tickets get closed without answers or resolution.

There are three that I know: - SuperEditor. - zefyr -- not sure if it's still maintained. - flutter-quill -- similar to zefyr in implementation.

It looks like desktop software built with Flutter. Their editor is based on https://github.com/singerdmx/flutter-quill which also has a web version, so maybe they’ll be able to target web in the future. For now I don’t think they support multi-user sharing or collaboration yet, and I didn’t see web features listed on their roadmap either.

I like https://github.com/singerdmx/flutter-quill. It makes a cross-platform editor. And it helps me to build my own project: AppFlowy

You're right. There are this thing: https://github.com/singerdmx/flutter-quill (latest commit 5 days ago).

I made the app using Flutter and it works on iOS and Android. However, I can't upload to the App Store/Google Play Story due to the coronavirus policies. However, the app got approved for TestFlight (Rejected for Google Play Beta), so if you would like the app on iOS, you can download it here via TestFlight.

Please leave a repository link if you can; Mine is Corona Spectator, and it's my favorite because it was one of the first times I actually felt like I was solving a real world problem with my programming skills.

I created a video for corona spectator for those who want a better representation of the app. I also entered it into the Congressional App Challenge so wish me (or the app) luck!
