Is this in production on Facebook? I have not had the greatest experiences with their rich text editor, from not being able to remove styling on subsequent lines, to getting a nice little note saying that you can't edit rich text posts on mobile. Hoping lexical brings some improvements here.

It is in production at Facebook. We're slowly rolling out to more surfaces, replacing our existing DraftJS implementations as we go. We've noticed a big improvement internally from doing so, both in terms of less bugs but also performance and accessibility.
If I remember correctly you’re the Dominic who wrote inferno.js right?

Love how performance obsessed you are. Facebook is lucky to have you.

Yep, I’m the same person still :p
Hey Adam, is Meta using / planning on using Lexical for React Native as well?
Adam? You mean Dominic/trueadm? We have some ideas for supporting RN once we have iOS/Android versions of Lexical.
Oh right, Dominic, sorry about that! Thanks for the reply.
