Tweetable Rich Text

Rich text editor for a͟n͟y text box, works on 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿

Tweetable Rich Text launched on June 2, 2021 with 96 votes, #496 of 3,650 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 5 years on.

What it does

There are a number of rich text edtors, but they style using CSS. This means that their output can not be used in simple text fields, for example on Twitter and Facebook. Our WYSIWYG editor uses only unicode chars and can be used in a͟n͟y 🆃🅴🆇🆃 🄱🄾🅇.

    OverType – A Markdown WYSIWYG editor that's just a textarea2025 · ▲471

    Hi HN! I got so frustrated with modern WYSIWYG editors that I started to play around with building my own. The problem I had was simple: I wanted a low-tech way to type styled text, but I didn't want to load a complex 500KB library, especially if I was going to initialize it dozens of times on the same page. Markdown in a plain was the best alternative to a full WYSIWYG, but its main drawback is how ugly it looks without any formatting. I can handle it, but my clients certainly can't. I went down the ContentEditable rabbit hole for a few years, but always came to realize others had solved it…

  • An open-source, collaborative, WYSIWYG Markdown editor2023 · editor.vrite.io · ▲460

    Inspired by the design and UI/UX of apps like Notion, and utility of open-source apps like StackEdit, I decided to create a minimalistic, local-only WYSIWYG Markdown editor. Some features worth highlighting: - Monaco editor and Prettier integration for code snippets - Tables (apparently the holy grail of WYSIWYG editing) - Embeds (for CodePen, CodeSandbox and YouTube, most useful for HTML or JSON exports) - Accepts Markdown paste-in, and "exports"/generates HTML, Markdown and JSON outputs - Collaboration (with real-time awareness and initial commenting system, available only when…

    Rich text editor as a service – my free side project2025 · texteditors.dev · ▲13

    Hey all I've used one too many rich text editors in my career to know that they are cumbersome to add and manage. So I built a tool that I can use for myself and also let others use it. TextEditors is a tool that lets you easily add a rich text editor to your site. You can configure it by clicking on the toolbar elements you want and we give you instructions on how to add to your site. Pretty early days, but happy with the progress so far. Look forward to your feedback. https://www.texteditors.dev PS - yes it's free :)
