Hey folks! Handle with Care is a software collective that builds and maintains open source rich text editing libraries, including React ProseMirror [1]. We all came from The New York Times’ content management system team, and we spend a lot of time thinking about rich text and collaborative editing. Now we’re working on something new: Pitter Patter will be a fully featured collaborative rich text editing toolkit, with all of the bells and whistles you need for your own text editor. The space we’re entering is not devoid of solutions — Lexical, Slate, ProseMirror, and Tiptap are all viable options for building modern, browser-based rich text editors. But we feel pretty confident that we’re going to be able to bring some value, nonetheless. First of all, Lexical, Slate, and ProseMirror (especially ProseMirror, in our opinion!) are all excel

lent rich text libraries, but they are also quite low level. You can build nearly anything atop them, but you will have to do quite a lot of the building yourself. Sometimes that’s exactly what you’re looking for — in that case, Pitter Patter can still provide you some value, because we’re going to be releasing individual libraries (like a CodeBlock node view, advanced markdown serialization, and suggest changes) that interop with the existing ProseMirror ecosystem. But if you want something that’s more batteries-included, you’re mostly left with Tiptap. Tiptap has been dominant in the space for a while, but we think we can do better! - We’re building on top of React ProseMirror, a truly React-native ProseMirror view, that doesn’t have to make any of the compromises that Tiptap’s React integration currently makes [2] - We have a deep understanding of ProseMirror’s internals (and we’re not afraid to use it!) - Pitter Patter will be completely open source - We’re building on top of prosemirror-collab-commit, the best (only?) rich text collaboration protocol that is both correct and fast [3] Anyway, we’re posting here for two reasons: 1. Maybe there are some more collaborative rich text editing nerds here that will be exciting (or not!) to hear about this. Sign up for our newsletter if you want updates! 2. Maybe there are some companies that are looking for alternative solutions to what’s out there. Consider sponsoring us on GitHub [4], or reaching out if you want to be more involved!

The original title was too long: “ We rewrote The New York Times’ text editing library. Then we open sourced it. Then we rewrote it again.” Quick summary: - The original NYT library is this one: https://github.com/nytimes/react-prosemirror - This is the author’s rewrite: https://github.com/handlewithcarecollective/react-prosemirro... - They rewrote ProseMirror’s renderer in React instead of having a layer sit between the two. - The author answered questions over on Reddit and had good insight into how their rewrite compares to other ProseMirror based libraries: https://old.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/1ij7lmb/why_i_rebu...
