Has anyone had much experience using Lexical (by Meta) recently?
I've tried to get to grips with Lexical but found the docs pretty hard to follow. It definitely seems to offer pretty heaps of power, just unlocking that seemed tricky. We're hoping to use it for customer facing collaborative list product that allows for richer media (video, code blocks etc.)

Yes, it uses the Lexical framework internally, so markdown gets converted to an AST, then the AST gets serialized back.

On Google Docs and why rich text editors need custom layout engines

In what text format do apps like twitter and instagram store their tweets and bios?
lexical is a framework for building web based text-editors ... so yea it can do formatting but if you are using it to just do formatting you are very much using the wrong tool.

What true Open Source Software means from my perspective in the industry and how I recommend contributing to it to get your foot in the door (spoiler: it's not what most bootcamps do)
Also for comparison, here is a very small project that has 1600 issues, 1400 commits and 250 contributors and if I saw that you were a lead contributor on here on a resume I would think you have exposure to "small sized projects". https://github.com/facebookarchive/draft-js

Is there a good alternative to Draft-js rich text editor?
Draft-js developed by Facebook, last update was over 2 years ago and it still got over 800k weekly downloads. I can't quite get it to work so I'm wondering if theres other good alternatives out there.

Making text editor in tauri
If you want to write the GUI code in Rust, you'd need something like Dioxus (which uses Tauri under the hood). But note that the Rust GUI ecosystem is still new, so I doubt we have something like Draft.js (a wysiwyg editor component for React). There's a lot of complexity involved in writing a text editor, and I'll suspect you'll have to handle a lot of that yourself.
