Our great sponsors
  • SurveyJS - Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • zod

    TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference

  • I wanted to use something new for wrighter and that's why I used fastify. I was more of an express guy before. The ability to add validator schemas was new to me in node backends, combining this with zod and typescript became confusing. There were several situations where I was missing fields for responses because I forgot to add them to the schema. I blame myself for that lol

  • Prisma

    Next-generation ORM for Node.js & TypeScript | PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, MongoDB and CockroachDB

  • Prisma - ORM

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • fastify

    Fast and low overhead web framework, for Node.js

  • Fastify Nodejs - Backend

  • vercel

    Develop. Preview. Ship.

  • Vercel - Frontend builds and deployments

  • unified

    ☔️ interface for parsing, inspecting, transforming, and serializing content through syntax trees

  • under the hood, the markdown is parsed by the unified remark and rehype processors, which in turn under the hood manipulate the markdown + HTML as an AST, which gives a lot of flexibility on parsing and rendering markdown. The editor uses them as plugins, which allows me to pick the features and inject them into the editor, one such injectable feature is the custom-made "copy from anywhere & paste as markdown" feature.

  • sidekiq

    Sidekiq worker on Render (by render-examples)

  • Render - Backend builds and deployments

  • KaTeX

    Fast math typesetting for the web.

  • GFM and KaTeX(very similar to LaTeX) suppport on both the wright editor and bites.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Express

    Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.

  • Dexie.js

    A Minimalistic Wrapper for IndexedDB

  • IndexedDB(dexiejs) - Local + Cache DB

  • commands

    Collection of editing commands for the CodeMirror code editor

  • The wrighter editor is built on top of codemirror and bytemd. codemirror is the go-to choice when it comes to flexible/hackable text editing and bytemd provides a nice wrapper for codemirror using react with some extra functionalities. I wanted to create a fork of bytemd that includes all the WYSIWYM features that I built for wrighter, but it was out of scope and takes too much time.
