There are many WYSIWYG Editors out there, but some are very old and the dev experience is quite bad. Some are headless with many plugins and need a lot of time to tune them to your liking.
I am looking for a very simple WYSIWYG Editor, if possible just an import and then specify an id. What are your goto WYSIWYG Editors?
Edit: Sorry I was not clear enough. I am not looking for a Website Builder, I am looking for an Editor where a User can write something like a Blog Post.
I have found several. Like ProseMirror, Slate, DraftJs, Quill, EditorJS, TinyMCE, TipTap etc.
I'm just looking for a basic editor that I can paste copied HTML so the backend can run some transforms on it.
So far, every editor I've tried absolutely destroys the HTML, removing attributes and even elements. In some cases, even altering table structures.
Is there a basic javscript-based HTML editor that isn't opinionated?
I often find myself hand-coding websites, and putting blocks of text in can be a time consuming process.
What would make my heart sing is a simple WYSIWYG text editor that I could use to set up my text and copy the HTML into Notepad++ for the website.
All of my web development is volunteer work, and every time someone gives me a block of text with lists, etc. my head hurts. I'm here because today someone sent me updates with a long set of text that I have to go through line by line.
I don't want anything as involved as Dreamweaver, etc., but it would be a bonus if it was open source or free.
Would be very grateful for any suggestions.
