Thanks for the offer, let me take you up on this. Could you compare Lexical and Prosemirror from an architecture perspective? What motivated your decisions in that regard?
Ultimately though, there are many similarities between the two – intentionally so. We were inspired by ProseMirror and some of its APIs and approaches. I think the biggest underlying differences are in how we tackle things from a DX perspective. We tried to bring a more composable API to making text editors work – from the plugin patterns, how updates and reads work, to how you listen for changes and react to them. Much of this was inspired by my prior work working on the React core team and from creating Inferno.
Interesting you say DX is a large aspect of what you are going for. ProseMirror is awesome but the API can be somewhat complex for simple things (but at the same time incredibly powerful when you get to understand it). I absolutely love TipTap[0] which is providing a much more user friendly API on top of ProseMirror, along with a clean Plugin system.
Going to have to have a play with Lexical, excited to see Yjs support!
