A few days ago, I was looking to create an editable interface for an email composer for a project I’m working on (https://PretzelBox.cc, since you asked).

I wanted to see if Lexical was a good fit. My app is plain javascript with a bit of Alpine and htmx. I just couldn’t figure out how to <link> to the appropriate js file in my html file. And I’m not a frontend dev so I have no idea how to browserify (or whatever the technical term is) the right npm modules.

I ended up using MediumEditor which is ancient in relative terms. Anyway, now composing email feels like writing a Medium post, fwiw.
