What is LinwitDocEditor
Introduction
LinwitDocEditor is a next-generation rich text editor for AI. It is developed based on Web Component and therefore supports almost any front-end framework such as Vue, React, Angular, Svelte, etc. It is adapted to PC Web and mobile terminals, and provides two themes: light and dark. In addition, it also provides flexible configuration, and developers can easily use it to develop any text editing application.
Why develop LinwitDocEditor
Now, the AI era has arrived, and AIGC is booming.
In 2023, we started to choose a suitable AI rich text editor for our products, and we found excellent products such as CKEditor, TinyMCE, and Tiptap. However, they have more or less the following problems:
- CKEditor and TinyMCE are both based on the GPL open source agreement, and the open source agreement is not friendly.
- Tiptap is a headless editor, and a lot of additional development work needs to be done based on it when using it.
The most important thing is:
When using the AI functions of editors such as CKEditor, TinyMCE, and Tiptap, you must use their paid plug-ins and AI cloud services. In this case, the applications will face many limitations if we develop based on it. For example: we cannot be deployed privately and not use private LLM apiKey, etc.
Therefore, I decided to develop LinwitDocEditor to solve the above problems.
Positioning of LinwitDocEditor
- Our original intention in developing LinwitDocEditor was to solve AI editing problems. Therefore, in terms of AI, LinwitDocEditor supports the use of private apiKey to connect to any LLMs, including ChatGPT, iFlytek Spark and any privatized LLM.
- We hope that LinwitDocEditor has more usage scenarios and is not limited to any UI rendering framework, such as Vue, React, Angular, Svelte, etc. Therefore, we developed it based on Web Component, which can be well integrated with any framework.
- We provide a friendly UI, support two themes, light and dark, support the writing habit of using Markdown, support flexible function configuration and custom layout, and use the open source protocol LGPL, which is more friendly than CKEditor and TinyMCE.
- In addition, we will continue to learn from excellent products, such as Notion, etc., to provide a series of useful AI functions... Of course, LinwitDocEditor is still evolving, and we need your support.
