What a journey. Used it in production when I just needed arbitrary richtext documents in whole.

Customizing has been harder than anyone would like. I became an event sourcing aficionado, initially to support parchment’s delta format. It’s a solid idea, but also required (unless you do backend diffs, which I tried too).

My vanity test: I can’t believe how hard it still is to make a TODO checklist with indented levels. I try like every 18 months, surveying the plugin ecosystem.

It never works well, so far. Editor.js isn’t a one-stop rtf editor, but that was the first thing I noticed “just working.”

That said, I’m upgrading an old prototype to quill v2 today.



I really like to hear about experience with Editor.js. It looks like the most modern editor but seems complicated. Is this true?
