r/webdev on Reddit: What is your goto WYSIWYG Editor?
March 6, 2023 -

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 a bit frustrated right now. I had a horrible experience with TinyMCE, Quill, and Froala. CKEditor was the least problematic, but unfortunately it asks for a license when I try to include a video button.

Are there any other suggestions you guys think are worth trying?

Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions, really appreciate them. I'm trying Jodit at the moment and it's going pretty well. I think I'll stick with this one as long as no problems come up.

r/webdev on Reddit: Best WYSIWYG HTML Editor
July 10, 2014 -

I am looking for an online WYSIWYG HTML Editor. A few of the editors that have interested me strictly because of their design were TextBox.io and Froala. Even though $90 isn't terrible, these cost money. I am wondering if there are any free WYSIWYG Editors that are designed and coded at a high quality mostly for the fact that I want to release the CMS I am building for my personal website under MIT license, and I can't do that if it is using a lot of commercial software.

r/web_design on Reddit: User friendly WYSIWYG editor for simple HTML pages
April 3, 2023 -

Hi, I hope this is an appropriate question for this sub. I am looking for some advice on how best to tackle a product problem we have. Our product allows users to upload their own simple HTML page and integrate our widget with some javascript.

This is fine for those users that can write HTML or have a UI developer to do that, but we have another set of users that are asking for the ability to create a page using drag and drop functionality and simple text editing. I instantly thought to go for a WYSIWYG editor but I've tried a bunch of options and they all have the same limitation which is that I can't seem to do much in the way of styling. I'd have thought it would be somewhat simple for these tools to create a background image, overlay some banner and company logo on the top, and maybe some company slogan etc. over the banner but instead all the images just push each other out of the way (like trying to paste images into Word for example) and none of the documentation says if this can be resolved.

  • TinyMCE

  • Froala

  • CKeditor

  • Quill

  • Editor.js

I'm wondering if there's an elegant solution to this outside of simply providing our own templates? Any advice would be most welcome.

r/webdev on Reddit: Can anyone recommend a WYSIWYG editor that uses block based editing and output to html?

Does anything exist that's basically like Notion or Anytype's WYSIWYG page/text editor where you can make a very simple and minimalist page of text, move blocks of text around if needed, and be able to output it all to simple html? Not looking for anything like database/property/tag management, just the super bare-bones rich text + block style editor really, just with html output. Notion kinda does what I'm looking for but seeking something that can function offline. Anytype comes close but doesn't export to html.

Greetings all, looking for a html editor that is something close to NVU/Kompozer (old and EOL).

There can be a 1 time cost, just looking for something where I can use it to edit a few really raw pages...nothing significant, just needs to handle tables fairly well. Also, nothing "cloud based"

stretching posting it here...

Here is the text edtior I have for now, snap: https://imgur.com/ANWN16v

I want to keep these cools wysiwyg editors like tinymce or ckeditor. But the thing is they are for API, not fully open source. Really hard to write plugin or modify.

Do you guys have any suggestion? Other than these, fully open source.

I have tried editorjs but that's block editor. I am looking for something out of the box solution, so that I can add my plugin or extension easily.

Hi All,

I've looked into TinyMCE, Draft.js, react-quill, slate-react, CKEditor but it seems like a majority of these libraries sanatize the html and strip it of inline style attributes, classes, and style blocks. Can anyone recommend a solid rich text editor that doesnt strip out all of css?

r/HTML on Reddit: Simple Basic WYSIWYG Text Editor
March 27, 2024 -

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.

May 7, 2017 - I used tinymce for a couple times and it's good imo. Not tried so many editor though. I only know about Sumernote and CKEditor other than tinymce. It's just, i think tinymce is better at customizing, easier to add whatever I or the client wants. ... None. Dont use WYSIWYG editors.

So I'm relatively new to web development and pretty much a new-born when we're talking about front-end web development but I've programming consistently for 12 years now. Most of my experience has been Windows Forms applications and video games. I've come to find out that being able to use WYSIWYG tools such as Visual Studio might actually be a privilege that Windows app developers enjoy that web developers don't? Am I wrong about this or, if I'm not, what's the deal? Am I just ignorant or are there really no high-level WYSIWYG editors like Visual Studio for HTML/CSS?

A friend asked me to do his website. I used to do websites for bands and such back in the day.

I used DreamWeaver 2 years ago when I was making sites and loved it. I am looking for a suitable editor that I can do WYSIWYG editing with and has easy access to back end stuff.

I was hoping for a good free or open source solution.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
