I recently used PlateJS to implement a rich text editor in a web-based messaging app. It had some very minute quirks on iOS input which turned into blockers for our app's launch. Same for Lexical. Are you planning to add these "bugs" to the editor pages as well, so people are aware of them before picking one?

    That's a cool idea. I wonder if one thing we could do here is to go through the Issues on the respective editor's GH page, and look for some "will not fix" issues. Documenting that could help devs figure out what might be a blocker for them.

Hey HN, I’m one of the creators. We’re always dealing with each WYSIWYG’s quirks, strengths, and licensing. It’s tedious. Being able to preview and compare them in one place really speeds up picking the right editor for each project. Hope it helps. Let us know if we’re missing something!

Hey all - we frequently need to use wysiwyg editors for projects, and one thing we often get stuck on is previewing different ones to see how they work, what they look like, and if they fit the needs of our project.

To make this easier, we built a tool to compare different editors. With it you can: - Quickly see a demo of 10 different editors - Favourite or add them to a compare page to see them side-by-side - Filter by certain licenses (e.g. MIT) - Filter by editors that are “block based”

Would love your feedback here (especially if there are editors you want us to add). We also open-sourced the editors integration here: https://github.com/bitcomplete/labs-wysiwyg-editors

Are you planning on adding some code samples directly on the page?

    Hey @marcosgrala - yep we are. We want to eventually either link to our integration on GH, or show snippets of how we instantiated the different instances :)
