trix VS rangy

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.

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 Unfortunately, it is outdated and hasn't been maintained for some time, but I still found it stable and simple.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.
