Didn't get very far with this one either. Tapped a correction on iOS keyboard and the replacement showed up for a split second before the whole word disappeared.

While these use contenteditable, it's not accurate to say they're just contenteditable plus some UI and interop. None of these modern editors (Wordgard, ProseMirror, Lexical, Slate) use contenteditable for the document model. Rather, they have their own internal document model and use contenteditable as a kind of input layer where the editor monitors what the browser does, then translates that into actual edits. Earl…
I’m not a historian but I think FCKEditor and TinyMCE predated contenteditable. These were solutions wrapping textarea back in the day if my memory serves me.
The editor aside, really impressed by the artist who did he design - really tasteful, def stood out for me https://kamilastankiewicz.com/
Why this over Lexical by Meta?
Because Meta is not the default to everything. I've personally been hoping for something like this for a while now. Especially a toolset that is not just targeting yet another SaaS or LLM or social media clone interface. I don't know if you ever used Draft.js that FB put out some time ago, but it was a horribly buggy monstrosity that was a heavy lift to move away from. One could not write several paragraphs and edit…
The code appears to be unavailable. This includes not just wordgard but all the ProseMirror code as well. If the motivation for moving off GitHub was "GH is down too much", it might be worth tracking how many 9's of uptime is lost in the self-hosted case.
I've had another report like this (they claimed it had been down for days). But I haven't noticed anything wrong with it (and I'm using it a lot). What did 'down' look like? Also, though GitHub's lack of reliability was part of the motivation to self-host, it was only a minor factor. The way they are trying to make Copilot a thing, at the cost of everything else, the way they handle US sanctions by blocking everybody…
Also, not to be an apologist, but I trust you realize that "the way they handle US sanctions by blocking everybody from entire countries" is how US companies are required by law to act. Not all do act that way, of course, but almost any that have enough overseas customers to matter do, because they have enough overseas customers to need to be aware of those laws.

I was on my phone, so all I saw was a generic Safari error message. I think it was site not found, but I don't recall. I'm able to see it now, but am coming in through a different network provider in case that matters.

I don't like WYSIWYG on the web. You do a long and tedious formatting of a forum post, then close the tab and it's all gone. I prefer to use a local text editor then Ctrl+V into web form. Which I can with markdown
Check out Linear, I'm not affiliated, just yesterday I happened to close the dialog by misclicking and when I pressed create issue again there was the wall of text I wrote. My point is it's not a technical problem but a product one.

That's due to the React constraints, though
Can you please elaborate? What constraints exactly?
I think most people would love to the know the 'why'. This page discusses differences with prosemirror and is the closest I got to that question: ( https://wordgard.net/docs/prosemirror/ ). One thing to note is that there is not an upgrade path. Many concepts are shared with prosemirror, but it seems that switching means doing quite some work (correct me if I am wrong). Obsidian is based on Code Mirror so I guess the…
> why wordgard is worth the switching cost? It may not be. If you're happy with ProseMirror, continue to use ProseMirror. I have your back. But as the blog posts describes, I had a whole pile of new design insights that avoid some of the issues I've ran into with ProseMirror, so I had the itch to build a new iteration. I'll add a link to the blog post to the docs section of the website. (It's marijn, not merijn.)
