Ask HN: Help me pick a front-end framework
> "building a text-annotation based app"
I'm going to assume that you are talking about a desktop-based webapp that is also responsive, and not a native app. I also believe you when you say that you do not know where you are getting into.
I have 10+ years of experience doing front-end, with probably over a dozen React packages self-published in npm, and also tried making a rich text editor ~6 years back[1]. I actually recommend starting with no framework at all (please read on).
Creating a rich text editor might be the hardest thing you can do in "normal" front-end (excluding some more advanced "frontend" fields like 3D or games). You can either manipulate raw cursors, which will be very tricky because I'm not even sure you have access to all the right APIs (specially on mobile), or you can attempt to use Contenteditable, which is a hell of its own[2].
"All problems start with caret placing and multi browser support" [3]
That said, I believe 90% of the complexity of your app will be here, around the actual interaction with the or <div contenteditable> that you will be using. For that, no framework will really help you, at all. So my recommendation is to first get that working, which will take weeks/months and hundreds or thousands of lines of code, and then worry about placing the little hovering boxes in their place (the "UI"), which is like 10 lines of JS/CSS[4].<p>[1] <a href="https://github.com/franciscop/modern-editor" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/franciscop/modern-editor</a><p>[2] <a href="https://answerly.io/blog/my-pain-developing-a-wysiwyg-editor-with-contenteditable/" rel="nofollow">https://answerly.io/blog/my-pain-developing-a-wysiwyg-editor...</a><p>[3] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27938702" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27938702</a><p>[4] <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/4495626/938236" rel="nofollow">https://stackoverflow.com/q/4495626/938236</a>
