I’m not sure if I got the idea of A May of WTFs right, but here goes: I just decided to use ActionText for the first time in a new project. I needed a simple rich text editor with support for bold, italic and hyperlinks. I couldn’t find any way to pass any configuration to Trix. There’s some docum…

For anyone stumbling along here, I’ve been hard at work at an ActionText compatible rich text editor leveraging ProseMirror / TipTap. While storage solutions aren’t configurable currently, it does allow a much more configurable frontend experience. Documentation is still light, but figured I’d give …
