I feel we were quite lucky back in 2015 when we started rewriting CKEditor with RTC as a core requirement. At the time, OT seemed like the only viable option, so the choice was sim…

Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day, everyone!

I agree. Yes, you can. Quill is the example here. Actually, back in 2015 when we started prototyping CKEditor 5, we started with this approach as well. Our goal from the beginning …

What's not true at all? That more powerful rich text editors need to rely on a tree structure?

Thank god I didn't question what josephg wrote regarding the text-based OT :D I'm actually part of the team that built real-time collaboration for CKEditor 5. As the article says, …

> Yeah. Text based OT is pretty simple to implement, too. It’s about 200 lines of code, plus a simple network protocol. Just for clarification, while OT for plain-text (linear mode…

> A real world implication is that if you want to add a new operation to a system (...) with OT, you can probably find a way to extend what you have to get it in there, with a pain…

We went with OT five years ago in CKEditor 5 and we have the same experience. While it would be tempting to try CRDT, it seems to come with too significant tradeoffs in our scenari…

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 …

We've been doing quite a lot of research around mobile support in the early phase of working on CKEditor 5. We knew from our past experience that on mobile devices (especially smal…

Still, that does not mean it cannot output HTML. CKEditor 5 implements a custom data model, works in the way you described (cancel native actions or extracts stuff from it, apply t…

Hi! The author of this article here :) I hoped you liked it (cause your message can read both ways :D) You reminded me that I was planning to refresh it a bit since it's over 3 yea…

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: ht…

Totally agree. In fact, they even used HTML inside the "text" property so, in fact, they mix JSON with HTML which doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. You can have a nice structure…

Which FOSS license? Because if it's a permissive one, like MIT, BSD or MPL, then you get results like we did with CKEditor 4: > From these thousands of businesses and millions of d…

It was even worse for CKEditor: > From these thousands of businesses and millions of downloads, a very small group (less than 0,5%) decides to enter into business relations with CK…

Ouch :( Unfortunately, mobile Safari's viewport is full of those issues. I reported a similar one to the WebKit team a couple of months ago: * https://gist.github.com/Reinmar/91c70…

I'm not sure how long they can keep doing so. At what point it may affect iOS's reception in general? From my own experience, making the app I'm working on (CKEditor 5 - a web base…

You say that Mozilla will be well-positioned as an alternative to Google. That sounds realistic and I hope it will be able to team up with bigger companies which would like to comp…
