If you want to make your app respond to clicks etc. , do you have to add anything to the jsx? I'm curious how interaction works. This is very cool btw, at first I was imagining you're server signaling WebRTC sessions between people.


No changes should be needed! We wrote some gnarly stuff to make forwarding inputs work across a variety of frameworks. This includes a bunch of React-specific hacks to support the synthetic event system, and some locks to ensure that people can't override each other's scrolling or typing inputs.


Thanks, very spicy. You should see how much time my gf has to evaluate law startup apps within her firm... You know something that could be cool, record + playback: the demo could be recorded once with voice over and played back for future reference within the org: "This is the playback that demonstrates importing raw docs from X, tagging and saving it to Y" , and you could record it using dummy info so there wouldn't be a risk of pollution.


Wonderful work! Any good learning resources that standout to you? I'm looking forward to reading your code. Merci!


That's neat the teacher brought up the 'tiers' of formality. As an american kid in France growing up, the 'vous-voyez' was instilled early on along with evaluations over the years in written and oral style. You probably remember 'liaisons'? It's as though in the same way a vowel at the beginning of a word causes the last consonant of the previous word to be pronounced, as familiarity increases and formality decreases, the words themselves begin to blend. Somewhere between your examples there'd be "j'ne sais pas" and then if your a high school kid in 2005, "Saich aps"


maybe it will produce recipes such as in this book https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2016/10/les-diners-de-gala-da...


We were draftjs, but it got very slow on larger texts. We're replacing with slate but it lacks some very needed textnode manipulation. Glancing at the editor and api, wow. Can't wait to have something simple (content editable) but with strong api backbone. Congrats!!!


Highly recommend Prosemirror. At least in my limited testing, it's much faster than Slate but you need a React wrapper for it


Did you try CKEditor 5? It's a modern rich-text editing framework with a rich API. However, it also comes with a lot of polished and ready-to-use features. You can read more on: https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-5/.


Since you mentioned CKEditor 5, I'll be bold enough to go a bit into off-topic.

CKEditor 5 is an incredibly impressive endeavour, and I've been following it with great interest. However, one of the things that separates it from the competition is the GPL license, which makes it impossible to use the editor in a permissively-licensed (Apache2/MIT) open source project. Your founder has indicated a readiness[1] to grant a custom license to such projects.

So, I'm wondering whether that is still the policy, and how that's been working out in practice. Have any projects taken you up on the offer? Have there been any unforeseen problems? What are the legal limitations imposed (on distributors/forks of the project, for example)?

Thanks for such positive feedback :)

Yes, the "Free for Open Source" initiative is up and running. For now, we didn't promote it a lot because we wanted to learn how it works, but from what I know, the custom license that we proposed is already used by a couple of projects.

Based on the feedback that we got so far, we're right now working on a simplified version of this license. Its initial version still had some restrictions which didn't work for Apache2/MIT projects with a commercial branch. Plus, it was simply too long for normal people :). We're removing these limitations. Once it will be polished, we will talk about it more officially on ckeditor.com.


That's great to hear. Keep up the good work!


Flynn treasure. The poem basically says it's at some damn or waterfall. Would be cool if the spot was chosen from the tale of the 'original great American adventurers'

As an American software developer working perm in London for 5 years and now returning to California ( ;_; ) , I can say that salaries are 3-4 times higher in the US for the same role. Just converting the currencies.


Out of topic: I saw your other comment, I can't upvote it because it's dead (probably for other reasons), but thank you very much for your testimonial, support and encouragement.
