A comment on Ritzy – A collaborative web-based rich text editor.

This is an interesting project, and I totally understand the desire to eschew the use of contentEditable. But, from what I've seen, handling bidi text and accessibility essentially require using contentEditable as the input mechanism, even if you manage the document yourself.

Does this handle RTL text input and accessibility issues?

It does not. See the comments from Marijn above. I don't know anything about RTL/bidi and accessibility, so I'm not sure if these are intractable problems for Ritzy or not.
