I'm curious, what does this offer over something like https://draftjs.org/, https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate, or http://prosemirror.net/ which also use normalized JSON (or ImmutableJS) objects for editor state and are backed by much larger and more established companies/communities.

We just launched https://ridewithgps.com/ride_reports which is built with draft, and I found it to be very flexible. I'd love to see the industry start to focus on using two or three best-in-class editors and contributing bugfixes to those rather than slugging it out with contentEditable again and again in smaller one-off projects.

Hey, the ORY Editor is actually built on top of slate - it simply adds drag and drop layout capabilities and a cool plugin system!

You might want to make that more clear in your documentation. Your current README doesn't mention Slate at all, I'd be much more inclined to go 'oh, this makes a lot of sense' if you were pitching 'Slate.js with the batteries included' instead of 'we built another WYSIWYG editor!'

That's a good point!

Just checked out ridewithgps.com - the implementation is very nice!

It's a clean and simple look where the underlying tech stays out of the way.
