  1. vrite

    Open-source developer content platform

    The main output is JSON ProseMirror format. Other formats are processed from this JSON using Transformers and Vrite SDK: https://github.com/vriteio/vrite/tree/main/packages/sdk/java...

    In the GFM transformer I try to follow GitHub Flavored Markdown spec, which technically doesn't support embeds. Since I didn't find any "common" syntax to use for the embeds, I just left them out. They're still there in JSON and HTML outputs.

    That's one of the drawbacks of MD. That said, I plan to add an option like Markdoc, which has clearly defined spec for implementing custom blocks like embeds.

    That said, for now, if you sign up for the full Vrite CMS, you can create a custom Transformer and process the output so that embeds are included in your desired format. That's what I'm doing for auto-publishing extensions for platforms like Dev.to and Hashnode. I don't know what your use-case is, but I thought it's worth noting.

  3. ProseMirror

    The ProseMirror WYSIWYM editor

    A little dissapointed to see ProseMirror not mentioned.

    It's an amazing rich-text editing toolkit that provides all the bits and pieces needed to write any kind of rich-text editor. Tiptap is a wrapper over ProseMirror for minimizing the vast API surface and providing simpler configurations.

    The project is using TipTap and that is mentioned.
