Hey all!
Earlier this year I created and released a set of custom components that implement a WYSIWYG Markdown and HTML Editor. I have been using this in my apps since however it had a few issues. My primary need was for a super lightweight and performant markdown editor, and this CKEditor 5 implementation missed the mark on both those requirements.
To resolve some of the issues with this previous editor I looked for a truly open source and lightweight markdown editor. This implementation uses uiw/react-md-editor, supports full screen, and has a light and dark mode. It is also much more performant than the previous version.
Hopefully this is useful for people until Retool adds additional rich text editor support (please Retool team! I know you are busy but this is years overdue!)
Let me know if you have any requests, issues, or questions.
