Project mention: I can't stand using VSCode so I wrote my own (it wasn't easy) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-21I had a near-identical experience. I looked into switching in 2019 and ran into this 2016 bug which was a showstopper for me. Fixed it myself, grand total 4 line diff. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/10643
Project mention: Are we making the best notion open source alternative? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-20Also has a self-hosted version however it’s a bit out of date with their SaaS product

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.
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.
Project mention: Show HN: CompressX, my FFmpeg wrapper for macOS, made $9k in the last 4 months | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-10For lossless cut, there's the LosslessCut [1] app, which even has an experimental but mostly working version of a "smart cut" feature [2] (aka. only re-encode the minimal mandatory amount of frames if you trim at a point between 2 key frames)

Project mention: I can't stand using VSCode so I wrote my own (it wasn't easy) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-21As an alternative to VSCode, consider Theia[1].
Open-source, runs all the VSCode extensions, etc.

I remember using https://github.com/facebook/lexical for a project a year ago and mostly things worked our of the box.
Any reason to prefer quill?
Project mention: I'm making a GlowUI text editor to get back into coding | /r/Windows11 | 2023-06-09If you need a WYSIWYG markdown editor you can try Toast UI Editor or simply use Markdown Live add-on for Visual Studio Code
TinyMCE provided a bit more information about this change in a GitHub discussion thread here: https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/discussions/9496
As I posted there, this directly affects my open source project which is heavily tied to TinyMCE so I may end up forking, and reducing down to what my project needs to reduce maintenance scope & burden.
TinyMCE have been jumping around with their licensing. They were under LGPL, with some (what I believe were) misleading guidance into meeting the LGPL (they specified rules about keeping specific branding elements). They then jumped to MIT, and since moved some of the open plugins to their commercial offering. Now they're making this change.
Project mention: Show HN: An open source visual editor for React | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-05This is really slick! A really fluid and intuitive interface.
We use https://react-page.github.io/ (also MIT licensed) extensively at my startup; it attacks the same problem, and it's been incredibly effective (and hackable!).
Generally speaking, owning your own CMS data, in your own database, with a well-documented JSON data format, and adding the ability to take any React component you've written (that itself may interact with your own data) and make it not only reusable as part of a content editing system but also WYSIWIG, opens up a huge number of opportunities - including adding your own logic to transform content before display.
https://builder.io is another alternative that's very effective at the adapting-custom-components-to-WYSIWIG side of things, but does keep the data in its own cloud storage.
I'm really excited to see innovation in this space, and I'll be following Puck closely!
Project mention: Launch HN: Tiptap (YC S23) – Toolkit for developing collaborative editors | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-01We think the headless approach is a big factor in why Tiptap has become so popular, but you are right! You can't just add Tiptap to your project without styling. That's why we're always asked about a drop-in Notion-like styling. We don't offer this, but our community has built something that might help you: https://github.com/TypeCellOS/BlockNote
Project mention: BlockSuite is the open-source block-based editor | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-07-26
Project mention: How to add Monaco to a Next.js app to enable custom user workflows | dev.to | 2024-03-05First, we’ll add the directive and necessary imports. We’ll use @monaco-editor/react, which is a nifty React component for Monaco. We’ll also import useState and useEffect hooks to help manage state.
Project mention: Launch HN: Tiptap (YC S23) – Toolkit for developing collaborative editors | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-01We have been using Tiptap in production for more than a year in Notesnook[0]. Glad to see it finally launching here on HN!
We have had quite a long and rough ride in search of a stable rich text editor. We began with Quill.js then migrated to TinyMCE and then finally settled on Prosemirror. Unfortunately, contenteditable is still absolutely horrible on web browsers, especially mobile ones.
Tiptap is a good choice if you are looking for a framework agnostic and thin abstraction over Prosemirror. However, if you are primarily working with React you should go with Remirror[1]. Tiptap's APIs are heavily inspired by Remirror (almost a duplicate in some places). Remirror takes the edge on the maturity and stability of the API and extensions. The sheer number of utilities offered by them to simplify Prosemirror's APIs is astounding.
In the end, though, its Prosemirror that's doing all the heavy lifting. And no matter how many abstractions you put on it, you will have to get really, really close in with Prosemirror's internals. Tiptap or Remirror do not make that any easier or harder aside from the initial bootstrapping.
