quill VS tiptap

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?

The Editor: The core of our app is the editor. We need an easy to use and robust rich text editor, that supports all of the features we want such as: headings, lists, placeholders, markdown, color, images, bold italic etc… For this we will use @10play/tentap-editor which is a rich text editor for react native based on Tiptap.

A WYSIWYG rich-text editor using tiptap2 and Element Plus for Vue3

You can build a Notion-like editor on top of https://tiptap.dev :-) Here is a demo of what such an editor might look like: https://demos.tiptap.dev/

Since Tiptap is headless, you have the freedom to design and develop the UI exactly the way you want.

The first link shows a discussion that started in July 2020, when Tiptap was only available in version 1. The new major version 2, which is a complete rewrite, was in development. The biggest drawback the GitLab engineers had was the lack of a test suite in Tiptap 1. That's understandable, because as a key component of your application, testing is necessary to ensure that you catch breakable changes. Tiptap 2 does just that. [1]

No good tool is built without using good tools, and Vrite Editor is no different. Before getting into WYSIWYG editors, I extensively researched available RTE frameworks, that could provide the tooling and functionality I was looking for. Ultimately, I picked TipTap and underlying ProseMirror — IMO, the best tools currently available for all kinds of WYSIWYG editors.

Nodejs has hocuspocus (built on prosemirror) (https://www.npmjs.com/package/@hocuspocus/server) using tiptap (https://tiptap.dev/), are there any similar alternative backends in Go?

If you're in need of a solid editor library for your next project, be sure to check out Tiptap. It's an open-source project, and we always appreciate feedback and contributions!

The buttons had to be absolutely positioned, which required both a custom TipTap extension and tapping deeper into the underlying ProseMirror (both libraries powering the Vrite editor).
