To join the team

In June of this year, @Fupeng Wang, the author of the wangEditor rich text editor, created an online development team and started hiring people. I was lucky to be one of the first members.

Six months have passed and it is the end of the year. Looking back at the development process of this period of time, gratified results, regret insufficient.

2020 was a magical year, with oil plummeting to -39, Trump losing the election, the pandemic spreading around the world, and house prices hitting new highs. I also in this magical year, trance found their own direction.

We’ve gone through a lot from startup to maturity.

This year’s major work was to upgrade the text editor from version V3 to version V4.

Previous versions had limited features and sometimes had minor bugs. Take a close look at the current product and compare it with previous versions of V3. Marveling at our workload today. Also admire the boss, a person to maintain products for so many years.

Sum up today’s work

  • Menu button – size Settings

  • Menu button – Foreground color and background color

  • Menu buttons – Insert code as well as code highlighting written using documentation

  • Menu button – Undo and redo

  • An attempt to handle the range cache problem failed

  • Research work on Document. ExecCommand

  • Sharing about the open source editor Quill

Looking forward to

We want to be the best editor in the world! Eldest brother said so. Everyone is also working hard for this.

Team meetings often discuss how to improve our current editor.

Make new menu features, clean up and update the current architecture, see other open source editors……

We have made a lot of efforts, the current plan for 2021, the following points

  • Build a separate mode of functionality from the editor, and introduce menu functionality as a plug-in
  • Continue to learn about the current organization of the open editor
  • Document structures requiring complex processing are encapsulated in blocks, and the blocks are rendered and listened to as a whole
  • After upgrading our editor architecture, we will try to develop online collaborative editing functions, turn our plug-ins into products, and introduce perfect business solutions

The last

In fact, some people in the team leave, busy with work or other things……

There are many new members to join, however, this makes me feel pressure to some extent, because the excellent new members highlight their own incompetence……

I’m glad I stayed, I think I will follow the team in the future, let the team lead me to continue.

Go wangEditor, and go for me, too.

WangEditor’s team is an excellent technology sharing development team. Although there are not many people, they all have high expectations for the future and are welcome to join us
