  • tiptap

    The headless rich text editor framework for web artisans.

  • Personally I think that for most of the projects the standard trix editor is just fine. However as soon as I need more customization or control my go to answer is TipTap. It’s technically possible to customize trix, but I’m my opinion is not a great experience. TipTap on the other end is completely barebone and you can mix and match extensions as you like. It doesn’t even came with a standard theme. By the way I do not recommend TipTap just for Rails but for any kind of project.

  • SurveyJS
