medium-editor VS quill

The MediumEditor clone looks great, but I wanted a traditional toolbar and the last commit it seems was 3+ years ago.

MediumEditor

medium-editor (a clone of medium.com inline editor toolbar): a bit too much as we just want the highlight/select feature

Here is a good one https://github.com/yabwe/medium-editor

Writing a text editor from scratch is Pain in the A (Please don’t ask what is A 😉). So instead of writing the text editor, I’m using already available ones **Medium-editor**.

Ontop of that this [issue](https://github.com/quilljs/quill/issues/3806) exists - which forces us to upgrade once primeNg lets us. Anyone knows a good alternative? I am done with quill and would love to use something more stable.

I started with Quill... wound up hitting lots of challenges. There are bugs/issues like, "don't add extra margin or it will be converted to extra spaces." I also struggled to embed Quill into an HTML form element, which I though would be easy.

Fair enough. Look maybe into more of a utility like Quill? https://quilljs.com/

I agree. Yes, you can. Quill is the example here.

Actually, back in 2015 when we started prototyping CKEditor 5, we started with this approach as well. Our goal from the beginning was to combine real-time editing capabilities with an engine capable of storing and rendering complex rich-text structures (nested tables, complex nested lists, other rich widgets, etc.). We quickly realized that a linear structure is going to be a huge bottleneck. In the end, if you want to represent trees, storing them as a linear structure is counterproductive.

So, we went for a tree model. That got many things in the engine an order of magnitude harder (OT being one). But I choose to encapsulate this complexity in the model rather than make it leak to particular plugins.

In fact, from what I remember, https://github.com/quilljs/quill/issues/117 (e.g. https://github.com/quilljs/quill/issues/117#issuecomment-644...) is a good example of issues that we avoided.

I also talked to companies that built their platforms on top of Quill. One of them ended up gluing together countless Quill instances to power their editor and overcome the limitations of the linear data model but is now looking for a way to rebuild their editor from scratch due to the issues (performance, complexity, stability).

So, yes. You can implement a rich-text editor based on a linear model. But it has its immediate limitations that you need to take into consideration.

I've always used Quill and always satisfied with it. It can be adapted to React Native as well. Despite the most popular RTE is Draft js it has some limitations on mobile.

NgPrime has this editor if you’re using it already for components. Or Quil could work

Quill

The few I have seen out there are flask-blogging, tiny-blog, and maybe quill?
