lexical VS github-writer

I remember using https://github.com/facebook/lexical for a project a year ago and mostly things worked our of the box.

Any reason to prefer quill?

Lexical (https://lexical.dev/) is really nice to use and doesn't use Prosemirror or CKEditor.

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.

Rich text editing doesn't imply pagination. Contenteditable is not abandoned. Lexical[1], Meta's framework for text editing relies on contenteditables.

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.

Haven't tried it out myself, but it's probably Lexical.

Svelte just got a lot more interesting! Dominic who is the creator of LexicalJs and InfernoJs (which is known to be insanely fast) has joined the svelte core team and is now working at Vercel full time! Here is the announcement on Twitter!

Have you looked at CKEditor?

Problematic dependencies. Some dependencies like CKEditor are designed specifically to work with Webpacker and won't work with other tools.

At my work, we recently released a beta of our switch CKEditor, coming from Draftjs. Works pretty well. They have a free license available, not sure if that would cover your use-case tho.

Every place where the mismanager wanted a rich text editor ended up skinning/modding what is now called CKEditor . It used to be called "FCKEditor" because of the initials of the guy who wrote it, but almost everyone reading it put the letter U in where it didn't belong. Sorry Frederico Caldeira Knabben.

CKEditor

https://ckeditor.com/ :)

CKEditor offers rich text editing, and is a fantastic bit of kit I've used extensively over the past couple of years. It does cost money, but it's worth it.

Recall that in the previous article, when you create a post, you can only add plain text, which is not ideal for a blog article. The rich text editor or WYSIWYG HTML editor allows you to edit HTML pages directly without writing the code. In this tutorial, I am using the CKEditor as an example.
