Project mention: Release Radar · April 2024 Edition: Major updates from the open source community | dev.to | 2024-05-03Speaking of text, here's another one for you. Quill is a rich text editor also built for compatibility and extensibility. The latest version prevents mistakenly overriding theme default toolbar settings, and Quill is now a valid ESM package for better ecosystem. There's nested Quill support, improved spelling support, and improved support for pasting from Google Docs and Microsoft Word. Check out all the changes on the Slab website.
I am supporting a project where lawyers, advisors can publish articles or news, to get more attention and clients. Initially it was made through TinyMCE, but they wanted not just HTML, but also a way of showing many pictures with interactions. I was seeking UI editor like Medium, and I guess best what I found was EditorJS and during checking its Awesome List there were several carousel plugins and I stopped on this.
The Editor: The core of our app is the editor. We need an easy to use and robust rich text editor, that supports all of the features we want such as: headings, lists, placeholders, markdown, color, images, bold italic etc… For this we will use @10play/tentap-editor which is a rich text editor for react native based on Tiptap.
Trix is simple and easy to use for basic writing like a blog. It’s what Basecamp and HEY both use (it was built by 37signals and is the default in Rails)

I remember using https://github.com/facebook/lexical for a project a year ago and mostly things worked our of the box.
Any reason to prefer quill?
A step in that direction can be seen in TOAST UI editor:
The MediumEditor clone looks great, but I wanted a traditional toolbar and the last commit it seems was 3+ years ago.
TinyMCE provided a bit more information about this change in a GitHub discussion thread here: https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce/discussions/9496
As I posted there, this directly affects my open source project which is heavily tied to TinyMCE so I may end up forking, and reducing down to what my project needs to reduce maintenance scope & burden.
TinyMCE have been jumping around with their licensing. They were under LGPL, with some (what I believe were) misleading guidance into meeting the LGPL (they specified rules about keeping specific branding elements). They then jumped to MIT, and since moved some of the open plugins to their commercial offering. Now they're making this change.

Project mention: React + @ckeditor/ckeditor5-build-balloon-block please help me with the following issue | /r/react | 2023-10-15
UI libraries aside, the whole headless rave has spread to packages and libraries for standalone components, headless text editors like Tiptap and Platejs, headless table components like Tanstack table, and more out there to explore.

Project mention: Introducing GPT Crawler - Turn Any Site Into a Custom GPT With Just a URL | dev.to | 2023-12-21I created my first custom GPT based on the Builder.io docs site, forum, and example projects on github and it can now answer detailed questions with code snippets about integrating Builder.io into your site or app. You can try it here (currently requires a paid ChatGPT plan).
Project mention: Ask HN: Freelance website builders/maintainers, what's in your 2024 toolkit? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-01
Project mention: Launch HN: Tiptap (YC S23) – Toolkit for developing collaborative editors | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-01We think the headless approach is a big factor in why Tiptap has become so popular, but you are right! You can't just add Tiptap to your project without styling. That's why we're always asked about a drop-in Notion-like styling. We don't offer this, but our community has built something that might help you: https://github.com/TypeCellOS/BlockNote
