Very cool! I'm curious as to why you removed ProseMirror after trying it out. I've been building my own writing app for a different purpose over the last month and have been pretty happy with PM, but I'd be curious to know what you're using instead.

As someone else building a notes app, I went with CodeMirror because I enjoy the feature-set of the obsidian editor (which is CodeMirror), and I'm trying to emulate the features on that that I use the most, in addition to some more "experimental" features I'm currently playing with.

Personally, I really don't enjoy WYSIWIG editors when writing notes. It's just unnecessarily different compared to what I'm used to. Though I can see non-devs enjoying it more.

I tried ProseMirror and Tiptap but typing in both felt slower than a vanilla contenteditable. Maybe it’s just a placebo effect. Also I’m trying out various experimental enhancements like if you type “+meditation” and press Enter, it will create a labeled section for you. Perhaps I should try CodeMirror as elxr suggested.
