prosemirror-cookbook VS trix

I spent weeks back in 2020 fighting with PM trying to customize behaviors such as bullet points etc. At the time the documentation was sparse and for me progress was extremely hard.

I ended up abandoning the project but wrote a short introduction here which might help you get started.

ProseMirror is probably the best option out there, but I found it pretty hard to wrap my head around its API.

The docs are detailed and exhaustive but did not help me much understand how to actually use it. I had to read Marijns code which I found hard to follow.

I started this introduction to PM (which is incomplete since I stopped using it) but I think will help anyone trying to use it.

Trix is simple and easy to use for basic writing like a blog. It’s what Basecamp and HEY both use (it was built by 37signals and is the default in Rails)

Trix was the winner. It was easy to style, is well maintained, has documentation for embedding it into a form, is easy to create custom keyboard shortcuts for, has great examples on how to save/load content or modify it with javascript.

In some case, you may need to allow the user to upload the file in the text editor like Trix editor. However, you current configuration not allowed it, you need to configure the CORS. Here the configuration

I inspected the text editor and it looks like it's something called Trix. The example on their website has a hyperlink button. No idea how to add links in StoryGraph though, besides the workaround the other user mentioned. Maybe ask Nadia on Instagram or Twitter - she's super responsive!

I'm sure something like Trix (used in Ruby on Rails) would probably do the job - https://trix-editor.org/

For this, you can add a small, isolated component to the page. An example from Rails is the Trix rich text editor: it is a standard web component.

I have been implementing a kind of blog builder using ActionText and Trix. However, understanding how Trix works, customizing it, and making image uploads possible, seems not very well documented. Also, looking at Trix's Github page there doesn't seem to be a lot of activity.
