That looks like a really cool project but.. there weren't any fully open source options? The original Etherpad came out 10 years ago. Etherpad Lite has been out for several years also and has had formatting plugins for quite awhile.

You're right, I completely forgot about Etherpad. But I don't consider Etherpad the same as Quilljs or ProseMirror. Etherpad is something you host (an app itself) while the other text editors are something you can build upon/integrate into your app. I didn't want to host an instance of Etherpad, I needed a library.

I wanted an editing experience similar to Medium.com text editor: consistent, well-formed html output and formatting. At the time, Quilljs was one of the best open-source editor that produced consistent output regardless of the browser.

Also I didn't want to store html, I wanted to store operations in the database.

I have an app similar to Figma[1] (basically real-time Sketch) and I needed just the real-time text editing feature.
