It's an amazing project but I always found the docs lacking. Maybe you'd have to sit down with the code for a while or ask AI to explain it, but there were concepts, like "facets", that seemed crucial but were never really explained. I also found the way the docs sites were structured to be really frustrating and confusing - it always felt like there were pages missing and I was never sure if I was on the right page for the thing I was trying to read about (or even on the right site, as it's split into multiple projects).

To make a minimal working text editor you will only need a little surface of API (covered in the system guide [0]), but to do this by yourself you need to know a lot about browsers' internal working and their undocumented quirks, which is much more overwhelming. (you can glance over `@codemirror/view`'s commit history to see what I mean) [0]: https://codemirror.net/docs/guide/ https://codemirror.net/docs/guide/
