Wordgard: In-browser rich-text editor from the creator of ProseMirror
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
Wordgard is a new open-source rich-text editor from ProseMirror's creator.
Wordgard is an open-source JavaScript library for building in-browser rich-text editors. Unlike free-form HTML editors, it uses a schema-based system for precise content control. Key features include a deluxe programming interface, modular extensions, accessibility, collaborative editing support, and direction-aware layout for right-to-left text. It is developed under an MIT license on a self-hosted code repository. The creator explains it is not a ProseMirror upgrade but a new iteration addressing design issues from that project.
What commenters are saying
Commenters praise ProseMirror's quality and Marijn Haverbeke's dedication. Several note the lack of an upgrade path from ProseMirror and ask why Wordgard is worth the switching cost. Haverbeke responds that it is not necessarily worth switching for happy ProseMirror users, but new design insights prompted a fresh iteration. Mobile bugs are reported on Android and Firefox Android. One discussion explores React integration difficulties. A commenter asks why code isn't shared between CodeMirror and Wordgard; Haverbeke says sharing would add too much complexity.
