I will use this in my next project.
- gkoberger 11y agoAt my first internship almost a decade ago, I spent a day and a half trying to fix up one of the free WYSIWYG editors out there. So many edge cases and weird bugs; and I was trying to hack in some new features. Lots of options, all 80% of what I needed. My boss goes to to me "uh, use the company credit card and buy the nicest one you can find". What a waste of money, I thought. There's free ones out there! "Think about how much you get paid. And then think about how much time and money you've spent trying to hack a free one to work." WYSIWYG editors are insanely complex, with thousands of possible edge cases. I love Open Source, but for ~$50, paying for a good one is a steal. I wish more JS libraries cost a nominal fee; it'd give developers the means to do a more thorough job on them. And given the time savings, it'd actually be more cost efficient than "free".
