69 MB gif - isn't that called a video? I thought we had different formats for that.
What I find amazing is that it's that large despite only being two bits of color depth, and it's extremely short and low framerate. Where the hell did all that filesize come from?
> If you’re like most people in America, you use a text editor nearly every day. Filter bubble detected.
The author does not say "work in a text editor", only "use". Considering she's including text editors on mobile devices, which the majority of America will utilize today, that's not a particularly bold statement.
Can't imagine why parent is getting downvotes - it's an important point, and doesn't seek to invalidate the whole piece.
This isn't even a test editor. It's closer to a web publishing tool. The article also didn't talk about the normal text editor challenges like the way the text is stored in memory and modified.
Agreed. I carry the personal view that when someone says "text editor" they are implicitly implying plain text. As such the leading paragraph of the article makes me twinge a little when "text editor" is used rather than "word processor". The article then continues on to describe the editor which sounds very much like a WYSIWYG editor. Indeed ProseMirror[1] homepage says the following. ProseMirror tries to bridge the…

Organizations use Medium instead of their own platforms to try to create a sort of social signalling--like, "this is not the usual old-school BS you'd expect from us--this is cool design or tech content." Whether that actually works is up for debate...
Medium has already turned around to just be uncool and pushing stupid bars and buttons in front of the text. So they are late to the party.

I've invested in Mobiledoc (mostly because it was for two ember apps) and it's mostly been fine, but is there any reason why I shouldn't be moving to ProseMirror? Seems to be a lot more powerful and have things like collaborative editing and track changes as well.
Just my experience: I had a rough time with ProseMirror trying to use it before it was released. It didn't use modern JS modules for a long time, the source code was a mess as far as I could tell, and JavaScript variable errors would surface with every version. Maybe the author has overcome these issues, but I'd be inclined to go with a different editor. Also, ProseMirror's architecture is extremely close to DraftJS,…
Instead of spending engineering $$$ building, maintaining and operating a complicated editor?

I'd love to work for this engineering team. Their tech blog and github is full of interesting projects.
