I know that dev.to's editor is a plain textarea, the editor I created is also not an editor per se, it's just a plain textarea. I implemented it this way since I prefer doing the heavy lifting on the back-end rather than at the front-end level.
It's the same reason why I'm not a big fan of the WYSIWYG Javascript editors that I have been using for quite a while on other projects.
I like creating things on my own since it helps me understand what goes on underneath the tools I use and overall it helps me grow as a developer.
All the best with CodeWrite, it sounds like a interesting editor and one that I might enjoy using since it goes beyond being just an editor with the โwrite once publish everywhereโ philosophy, that will sit well with people who cross-post their content like me.
If you are interested to have a look I wrote the following article explaining these changes I made to my editor.
Thanks!
I've checked out your blog post - a nice guide for anyone "sourcing" their personal blogs from Dev.to - I've seen it's being done a lot lately. I personally run my blog on Ghost, so, for me, Dev.to is yet another platform to cross-post to.
As for creating projects on your own - I know how it is, I guess most devs do. For me, that's where my piles of (mostly unfinished) side projects come from. ๐
If you end up giving CW a try, check out the auto-filling (on Medium) demo tweet, and join the Discord server if you've got any questions.

I guess unfinished side projects are a common thing amongst devs ๐ .
Hopefully I'll get to give CodeWrite a try in the future, all the best adding the support to the remaining platforms on its roadmap.
