  • My pain building a WYSIWYG editor with contenteditable

    Working with contenteditable, execCommand, and rangy (shoutout to timdown who was the ultimate resource for everything caret-related), to get just a somewhat decent experience, is still to this day one of the most frustrating and things I've ever done.

    Enter Rangy. It makes working with user selection, a walk in the park. Unfortunately, it is outdated and hasn't been maintained for some time, but I still found it stable and simple. With some experimentation I was able to load it onto my app and I'm not exaggerating when I say: it saved lots of hours. Hats off to the author.
