They're hard at work on Android support on SlateJS. https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate/issues/2062

We just upgraded our Slate version, and the relatively new Android support is sort of working, but still with a lot of bizarre and janky behavior.

I implemented Android support on Slate. It is currently the first release and I will be committing time to fixing the remaining bugs starting within this month most likely.

I've been following this space for some time [1], and for me the constant struggle has been finding something that is both batteries-included, so I don't have to build a usable editor from primitives on projects where the core differentiator is not related to how content gets authored, and mobile-friendly, so that I don't have weird capslock bugs on iOS [2], completely broken Android support [3], and just general mob…

Thanks for a feedback and links.

We have done a lot of work on core stabilisation and API improvement. First version of editor.js is used for a while by local big (well, relatively) media projects — vc.ru, dtf.ru, tjournal.ru with the 200-500k DAU. This projects have UGC communities, so the Editor is using many times in a day. I mean most of our resources on the past stage was directed to the stability purposes.

Fully agree with you about the importance of UI and UX (and mobile adaptation) in our case. This is a next step we have start today. And this is a reason why it is an open source and free. We see many talented developers and the demand, so we will continue to work.

Thanks for what must have been a ridiculous amount of effort! It is already good enough that we re-enabled edit mode on Android.

Why JSON-that-resembles-HTML rather than whitelisted-subset-of-HTML? Seems to throw away a huge amount of tooling and force an extra step on anything that wants to render the content? Although I guess I could render the JSON to HTML server-side and get the best of both worlds. Everything usually boils down to a question of caching something somewhere.

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 structured HTML and it will be as portable, as interoperable (if not more) as that JSON.

Another take on this (by my colleague from CKEditor team): https://medium.com/content-uneditable/a-standard-for-rich-te...

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!!!

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/.
