I was looking for a simple way to give my htmx apps an editor and found this library which looks nice.
Here is a gist with the source code -- I'm currently using roc built from source -- but this should work with the latest nightlies.

Peter Marreck (Sep 12 2024 at 12:55):looks cool! how do I specify the platform if I want to try this locally? (I'm still a Roc noob...)
Luke Boswell (Sep 12 2024 at 22:57):@Peter Marreck I updated the gist to use the latest version of basic-webserver
https://gist.github.com/lukewilliamboswell/567348a9bfa85e4e9cd2f04939de6d08
I made that before the changes landed in a release so it was still using an older version and a local path. Should be usable now just using a nightly roc, let me know if you have any issues.
Peter Marreck (Sep 13 2024 at 13:42):Nice! Works great now!
I used Quill on a project like 7 years ago and really liked it, but then it got abandoned and was in danger of me having to swap it out with something else due to lack of updates; good to see someone's picked up the slack on it
