  The breaking point came when integrating with the unifiedjs ecosystem. After 8 hours of removing code piece by piece to isolate a build error—with completely non-descriptive error messages—I gave up.

  From TFA:

  > My idea was that surely it's possible to write a bunch of markdown, and then have that get wrapped in a bunch of JSX tags that come pre-styled, using the styles of your existing repo? For example, what I expected was to be able to write *test* (Markdown for bold) and then get a component that looked liketest where is a library-defined React component

  It surely is possible, so perhaps I can share some links if others are wondering the same thing.

  If you like to roll your own solution for that, you can use the unified ecosystem: https://unifiedjs.com/

  However, if you want JSX just do what everyone does and reach for MDX:

• The hustle free way to build a next.js blog with dev.to

  Styling the blog, figure out the eco-system within UnifiedJs, remark-rehype, oh boy, I could write another blog with that.

• building a basic markdown editor: unified, trees and data
  2 projects | dev.to | 2 Oct 2023

  To build the Markdown editor (and the preview, mostly), I decided to use unified, an ecosystem of tools allowing the developer to parse a format into an abstract tree and back into another format (for example, markdown to html) and modify said tree (for example, to add specific classes to certain html elements before they are converted to an actual html string. The basics of how to do so can be found in this article, but they mostly consist of:

• HTML to React service

  It’ll take you a few hours to become proficient in the “unified” syntax tree libraries. So worth it. Easy fully customized conversion to/from html, react, plain text, markdown, you name it. https://unifiedjs.com/

• Universal compiler using WASM architecture

  Why universal? Because a lot of languages are simillar in a bunch of ways and it might be good to reuse existing parts of the compiler to speed up the process of writing new DSLs for example. Also a pretty big use-case is not for compilers itself but just for transformers like Markdown to HTML, there are already a lot of libraries (like https://github.com/unifiedjs/unified for ASTs and https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/ for parsing) that try achieve similar goals but they are not working together.
