**Greetings everyone!** Today, I’m here to talk about a project that started a few months ago. It all began with the need for a rich text editor and formatter to be implemented in articles for a social network (Mirantes). You can already visit it to see how it looks: [Mirantes](https://mirantes.io) Continuing on, the need was obvious: **formatted text!** ### The search I started researching and looking for text editors like TipTap, root-based WYSIWYGs. Everything that was good was paid. What was free didn’t have a modern style. If it wasn’t lacking one thing, it was lacking another. ### A brilliant idea! Then I thought: **“Figure it out!”** The best phrase a guy can hear (lol). **On a sleepless night, I created RichBlocks v0**. A simple WYSIWYG editor with few features. It was essentially meant for: - Simple text formatting: **bold, italic, underline, and strikethrough** - Custom formatting (I didn’t want to use Markdown, but later I regretted it lol) - The ability to insert images anywhere in the text But despite all my efforts, I couldn’t create something fully viable at that time, and it wasn’t approved to be used on the platform. The most important thing for me was this: **I exceeded my own expectations of myself!** ### What happened next? Ah, to find out, it’s better to stay tuned for the next post lol. I hope you come back to read it! To learn more about **RichBlocks**: [RichBlocks on NPM](https://www.npmjs.com/package/richblocks)
