What is a Rich Text Editor?
The easiest way to explain what a Rich Text Editor is, is to compare it to a plain text editor. A plain text editor, like Notepad, only allows you to write and edit text without any formatting. On the other hand, a Rich Text Editor, like Google Docs, lets you format text, add images, links, tables, and other elements. Not only can you add these various elements, but you can edit the document in a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) way. This means you can instantly see the final result while making edits, without needing to preview it separately.
Rich text editors can serve as input fields for chat platforms or any interface where users need to enter and format text in real time. They allow users to add features like bold, italics, links, or images directly into the chat. These editors enhance the user experience by providing dynamic and flexible communication, allowing text formatting as it's typed without needing additional steps.
Rich Text Editors can accommodate not only pictures, links, and other media, but they can be collaborative or accommodate AI features. This means you and your team can work on and edit the same document simultaneously in real time.

Some of the projects we worked on
SuggestCat: Our Custom ProseMirror AI plugin
We initially built this project to onboard new recruits. Later, it evolved into a fully developed solution that still needs refinements on the UI side but showcases some of the features possible with ProseMirror and AI.
SuggestCat is a ProseMirror plugin that uses AI to suggest improvements and provides a Notion-like slash menu experience with AI-based writing tools. It's a great way to improve your writing and get suggestions on the fly. get suggestions on the fly.
