The original title was too long: “ We rewrote The New York Times’ text editing library. Then we open sourced it. Then we rewrote it again.”

Quick summary:

- The original NYT library is this one: https://github.com/nytimes/react-prosemirror

- The author answered questions over on Reddit and had good insight into how their rewrite compares to other ProseMirror based libraries: https://old.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/1ij7lmb/why_i_rebu...
