Thanks but I think I'll stick with this little gem. https://github.com/daviferreira/medium-editor https://github.com/daviferreira/medium-editor

  Didn't know that one thanks! For your projects, do you consider the fact that this component does not depend on a specific framework to be a positive thing? I ask because when I started writing my editor, I considered to go jQuery free, but then I decided to stick with jQuery and create it as a jQuery plugin since people are used to components wrapped this way.

    If I were building a project that used jquery, then this would be a good thing. But these days I prefer things to be as vanilla as possible. jquery is becoming more of a burden than help given how much better modern browsers are becoming. In the not-too-distant future I picture myself stripping jQuery from my projects, so the less tie-in the better.

      How exactly is jQuery a burden?

      How jQuery is a burden beyond the extra 32kb gziped file that the browser have to load? Please don't try the " i am cool because i hate jQuery" mantra. Cheers

    I personally prefer libraries without dependencies when possible. Edit: http://YouMightNotNeedjQuery.com http://YouMightNotNeedjQuery.com might be of assistance

    Now it's a race, if jQuery Notebook gets up to snuff by the time I need it, I'll use it, if not, Medium Editor it is (personally, I don't care if I have jQuery or not, I'm a pragmatist).

    Stay with jQuery but focus on building an awesome media handler. The other medium-editor repo isnt focusing at all on handling user-uploaded media and that really sucks. I would switch immediately if you had baked-in integration for -Youtube inline upload -Images upload But again, thats just my opinion. The other repo is pretty significant and gaining a lot of traction but I think they will end up relying completely on 3rd parties to handle assets. I think if you focused on media, you could compete and be a more beginner-friendly editor. Best of luck to you, I love the Medium editor and may end up sending you some pull requests if you keep this thing going.

      Video and image are definitely on the roadmap. As soon as I get the issues related to the standard editor features out of the way I'll begin to implement image and video.

        I will definitely be following along. It looks like many others will be too.
