quill VS CodeMirror

Quill is a rich text editor that supplies deltas of change. So you can build quite a sophisticated system of document revisions within the browser.

We use QuillJS https://quilljs.com/ for our projects, as a drop-in component to allow our users to edit rich-text fields. Works great for our CRUD apps; I am not a front-end person, but it's simple, does what we need, and seems to work in multiple browsers without issues.

Am I missing something?

We use Quill, too, we only need rudimentary features, though.

Its maintenance status is... questionable, although my information is out of date (see last paragraph).

I like u/ediblemanager 's idea of using Canvas. There is also a "cool-tool" called Quill which you can use to build a great DOM-friendly editor into your Apps without breaking too much of a sweat. And use Eloquent and park those posts safe and sound into your db.

There sure is, take a look at Code Mirror

Codemirror is open source, so you can look at, clone and experiment with its actual code as much as you like to figure out how it works.

Developed using the LAMP stack mainly because I'm more of a back-end (PHP) dev, and for various other reasons, like affordable web servers. The front-end is vanilla JavaScript (AJAX for dynamic stuff). I also use CodeMirror to provide the visual-code editor for programmers.

The project is built with itself, and uses some of the popular frontend libraries like codemirror and terser.To build a tilepieces application, read the instructions.

Tilepieces is a software that allows you to create applications for editing HTML documents, using some of the popular interfaces of the browser developer tools (with which it is possible to integrate css edits).

You can start using tilepieces with its progressive web application version! Why Tilepieces? Tilepieces has everything you need to manage and design the layout of all your web projects, be they newsletters, banners, websites or web applications.

Its API and the possibility of customization make it perfect as the basis of a CMS How Tilepieces works The project is built with itself, and uses some of the popular frontend libraries like codemirror and terser.

If you like Node.js, there is an npm package for you that will launch the application in your favourite browser.

I think that Codemirror 5 is a nice example, version 6 is somewhat hard to follow, there are way too many modules and it's hard to understand.
