Curious whether the team is looking at improving the support of having images in tables cell? I played with the playground and it seems to work, but there seems to be some (relatively minor) glitches/bugs (e.g. difficult to place an image in a cell, moving images across cells seems difficult, and cannot Ctrl-x an image and Ctrl-v to paste it).

Joel Spolsky wasn't particularly right in 2002, and he hasn't gotten more relevant with age. As for this particular article, what is your criticism? That FB makes a rich text editor available as open source (under the MIT license)? How on earth does that mean "companies have to spend all their cycles catching up and reimplementing and fixing bugs"? You can always roll your own, or use one of the many others available…

The fact that there's draft.js, and a myriad of other existing editor libraries out there already, all of which could've been contributed to instead.

Sure thing. I actually wrote up a really detailed response to this on ProseMirror's discussion board: https://discuss.prosemirror.net/t/differences-between-prosem... Ultimately though, there are many similarities between the two – intentionally so. We were inspired by ProseMirror and some of its APIs and approaches. I think the biggest underlying differences are in how we tackle things from a DX perspective. We tried…
Interesting you say DX is a large aspect of what you are going for. ProseMirror is awesome but the API can be somewhat complex for simple things (but at the same time incredibly powerful when you get to understand it). I absolutely love TipTap[0] which is providing a much more user friendly API on top of ProseMirror, along with a clean Plugin system. Going to have to have a play with Lexical, excited to see Yjs suppo…
It does apparently have the best live editing / collaboration features of all text editors out there.

That is no different from something you do yourself, either. What you call "rug pull" is merely the point where the solution you got for free suddenly costs as much to maintain as your inhouse solution.
I'm the author of Lexical and one of the many engineers working on Lexical full-time at Meta. If you'd like to know anything, or ask any questions, please do! For those of you looking for the sourcecode for the playground, you can find it here: https://github.com/facebook/lexical/tree/main/packages/lexic... We also have a Discord channel you can check out: https://discord.gg/KmG4wQnnD9
Thanks for your work in developing this! Does Lexical have a feature to set arbitrary CSS on a particular selection range? I've been looking for a solution to do this since the WebKit's -[WebView applyStyle:] is deprecated as part of WebView Legacy. It isn't clear to me from glancing at the docs if RangeSelection.formatText() or other methods can handle anything or just a subset of styling code. Thanks!
I wanted to see if Lexical was a good fit. My app is plain javascript with a bit of Alpine and htmx. I just couldn’t figure out how to to the appropriate js file in my html file. And I’m not a frontend dev so I have no idea how to browserify (or whatever the technical term is) the right npm modules.
I ended up using MediumEditor which is ancient in relative terms. Anyway, now composing email feels like writing a Medium post, fwiw.
Maybe such a page would pull the JS from a CDN, maybe it would refer to filepaths on the server.
I don't know how to form a working web page from the snippets in the docu because I do not know the relevant javascript. I would just like a working example, on my own computer, with a minimum number of moving parts, that I can play around with.
