Switching Rich Text Editors, Part 1: Picking Tiptap
Great article and fantastic choice!
This is a topic I have been very interested lately. I had been lucky to start using since Slate 0.61.x, but I cannot say anything good about it. It has a major problem with managing large documents [0]. I tried to introduce multiple improvements of performance, but it is very ungrateful project – change in one place affects many things at the same time. I am shocked, how many projects are still using it. For example, open-sourced Notabase [1]. My 4+ weeks with Slate.js completely killed motivation, and I was only thinking to put a whole project to litter.
In the result of being unhappy, I switched to Draft.js. It was 2020, and I was eager to try it out, so I did. Sadly, in 2020 there was also the last release [2]. Initially, I didn't like how it works. I preferred the Slate data model. Also, the draft.js project felt not maintained at that time (by looking at commits activity, issues and pull-requests). It is written in the Flow which I detest. I spent few weeks to try "merge" the draft.js and sentry with doing a "rewrite" to TypeScript. Obviously, quickly I realized myself it is stupid idea.
Then, I took a look at ReMirror. Yet another problem that was struggling with maintenance and active contributors. It is based on ProseMirror, so I thought it is better choice than previous. ReMirror is overly complex for simple things. It was hard to find any help - neither by googling examples nor via ReMirror's Discord (it was dead silence there).
After that, I have found information about the TipTap. Back then, there was only provided support for Vue.js. Fortunately, it was that time, when they have promised the v2 with React support. I skipped it to wait for the new version.
Maybe, a raw ProseMirror with React? Yep, tried it, but I wasn't very happy of the result. I knew the TipTap v2 will be released and there were already existing projects that were using ProseMirror behind the scene, for example: Outline's rich-markdown-editor[3]. It has tons of built-in components that I had with Slate. I was extremely happy about it, because "everything what I needed" was there – typical bold, italic, code, code block, quote, multi-level list and even table editing. Really awesome piece of code! However, authors decided they are opting for TipTap and they have archived repository on GitHub, which means officially the project is dead.
I had no time to test Quill.js. It looked interesting, but it has noticeable poor development pace, and it looks a dead project with many bugs.
Currently, I am using the TipTap v2 and I can't say how happy I am now. I guess I will stick with it for longer. However, I know the journey to find the best Rich Text Editor has not ended. There are more alternatives, for example Stylo [4] that I've found in this week.

Appflowy – open-source Notion Alternative
Outline's rich-markdown-editor (https://github.com/outline/rich-markdown-editor) package is pretty nice. I have used it to make some custom MD editor/CMS experiment.
- Can I run a CMS with GatsbyJs that is only hosted locally but serves content from GitHub for instance?

I built a new platform, using NextJS, for creating a blog & newsletter (and earning money from your readers). I focused on speed, simplicity, privacy, and beautiful design. I'd love to get some early feedback!
Good eye! This is indeed based on ProseMirror. I didn't create it myself though, I'm using this: https://github.com/outline/rich-markdown-editor
- Ask HN: Open-source notion.so like block editor?

I made a simple Markdown editor and publisher that stores files on web3.storage!
Ah yes, I found the library I was using for the editor (rich-markdown-editor) to insert a lot of \ newlines when they weren't needed. I'll take a look at this sometime!

How I optimized Carousel for EditorJS 2x in size.
I am supporting a project where lawyers, advisors can publish articles or news, to get more attention and clients. Initially it was made through TinyMCE, but they wanted not just HTML, but also a way of showing many pictures with interactions. I was seeking UI editor like Medium, and I guess best what I found was EditorJS and during checking its Awesome List there were several carousel plugins and I stopped on this.

Show HN: I made an app that consolidated 18 apps (doc, sheet, form, site, chat)
I tried the "Doc", "Sheet" and "Slide" feature and each of them are incomplete and lacks most of the popular features. It would be better if the author uses existing solutions instead of implement them from ground up.
editor.js [0] for documents and Grist [1] for spreadsheet are some good examples.

editor.js integration?
Has anyone had any luck adding editor.js to your app? I've got a plain rails/stimulus/turbo/activeStorage app which needs a dynamic page builder and editor.js looks like it has promise. However it's a pretty specialized workflow and Im not sure if it jives well with the plain Rails ecosystem.
