Slate is a great block based editor. The downside and the reason I didn’t choose it for notebrook [0] is because its contenteditable implementation doesn’t work on Android. You may want to double check that with ProseMirror. Please feel free to reach out to me (email in profile) to discuss your project further, as I’ve had some experience building an offline-first, reactive tag-based note app, and best of luck!

- kevsim 6y agoThere is a fully funded Kickstarter to bring support to Android [0]. We’re using Slate at my startup [1] and have been really happy with it. Our editor is pretty fancy and is relatively easy to maintain, test etc. 0: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sunnyhirai/add-android-support-for-the-slate-wysiwyg-editor https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sunnyhirai/add-android-... 1: https://kitemaker.co https://kitemaker.co, a super fast issue tracker/product management tool with deep integrations to your team’s favorite tools
- lukevp 6y agoThanks for the update, great news! I really love Slate but the Android support was a non-starter for me, and I ended up using React-Quill. It has its own share of issues, but at least the native editing was decent on Android. I talked with Sunny about working on the Android port on Slate's GitHub earlier in the year, and spent a few days working to add support myself based on his earlier work, but it was not what I wanted to focus on for my application at the time and I decided not to pursue Slate further. It's very impressive they can get the sponsorship to do this and it makes me really excited for Slate's future.
