your email editor?
Learn ways to minimize your
WYSIWYG editor tech debt
Technical debt affects enterprises in multiple ways - from opportunity cost to developer velocity and morale.
This white paper discusses how sourcing specialist third-party components, like a rich text editor, can free your enterprise from carrying the burden of needless technical debt.
What happens when you minimize

✨ I found out ~50% of my support tickets on remoteok.com were about Markdown issues:
- non-tech people don't understand it
- format is inconsistent
- buggy if complex like * a list with **bold text**
So I now switched to TinyMCE which is HTML: tiny.cloud

We went from a completely custom DraftJS (now Lexical) implementation to TinyMCE and did not lose any sleep over it.

I did a deep dive on this not long ago, TinyMCE is really the only one worth building with.

Thanks! I tried many other tools - all open-source and came to the conclusion that many people may disagree with.
I decided to go with TinyMCE not because it's open-source but because they have a commercial license what may mean they will fix bugs and add great features faster.

Buy-and-assemble your WYSIWYG to
overcome the ‘Buy or Build’ debate
The earliest question that arises in almost every development project, no matter the size, is: “Do we buy, or do we build?”
This white paper explores that age-old question, through the lens of rich text editors, and debates – as every engineering team does – the alternative approaches that increase software development output and lower total cost of ownership.
What happens when you try
to build your own rich text editor?
Overruns
It’s one of the highest-risk areas for both cost and development time overruns.
Underestimations
Feature and system complexities are notoriously underestimated.
Scope-creep
Building a maintainable rich text editor is beyond what most developers initially consider.
Maintenance
Iterative bugs and rapid evolutions and adaptations demand constant attention.
