It's a fork of App Inventor[1] so it's essentially a new version, built by people that built the original version[2]. Honestly it would not have been disingenuous to exclude that tiny link clause altogether, but now they're b

(Biased Quill author here) Most modern rich text editors have or are moving towards having a document model that maps to the DOM, ideally also producing compact and canonical output. Quill's new document model Parchment takes this appr

Promises about the future about Github’s roadmap is understandably difficult to make, besides by a very small number of people at the top. I don’t think this is the expectation. But visibility into past failure to address these concerns and

My thoughts on why is pure conjecture but I'll add that there are many such common misunderstandings. Chasing growth is another, which is why I'm very happy for this Startup Playbook. So many people do do not realize growth is STE

Novel does not mean no competition--there's always competition, even for breakthrough technologies. Even the telephone had to compete with telegraphs or snail mail. The novelty comes in the way an existing need is met. From your list,

I would say the old approach was to add contenteditable=true to a <div>, call execCommand for formatting, and try to fix the issues this would cause. Editors in the last couple of years simply avoid using contenteditable in as many ca

Hey HN - project creator here. Pleasantly surprise to see Quill picked up again on HN. We built Quill to because my previous company needed a modern editor with an API to manipulate the contents (our use case was collaborative coauthoring).
