  3. jodit

    Jodit - Best WYSIWYG Editor for You

    I use https://xdsoft.net/jodit/

  4. quill

    Quill is a modern WYSIWYG editor built for compatibility and extensibility

    I started with Quill... wound up hitting lots of challenges. There are bugs/issues like, "don't add extra margin or it will be converted to extra spaces." I also struggled to embed Quill into an HTML form element, which I though would be easy.

  5. medium-editor

    Medium.com WYSIWYG editor clone. Uses contenteditable API to implement a rich text solution.

    The MediumEditor clone looks great, but I wanted a traditional toolbar and the last commit it seems was 3+ years ago.

  6. trix

    A rich text editor for everyday writing

    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.

  7. Civic Auth

    Auth in Less Than 5 Minutes. Civic Auth comes with multiple SSO options, optional embedded wallets, and user management — all implemented with just a few lines of code. Start building today.
