Redcarpet VS trix

We will use redcarpet to parse markdown. To do so, We need to add redcarpet to our application.

My point is that I would like to understand if there are some resources or advice on how to start this journey: shall I first learn how to make a gem or can I start write it in a Rails app using Turbo and Stimulus to power up a textarea that will get some markdown parsed with Redcarpet

In this guide I will show you how to add markdown to your rails application. We will use redcarpet gem and I assume that you have created your rails application that we will work on.

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.
