The record

What it does: ProseMirror is a toolkit for building rich-text editors on the web.
Structured documents: It provides a WYSIWYG-style interface for constrained, structured documents and lets applications customize document shape and structure.
Collaboration: The project has built-in support for collaborative editing by multiple people in real time.
Schemas: Document schemas allow custom document structures without writing an editor from scratch.
Architecture: ProseMirror is modular, pluggable, largely functional and immutable, and unopinionated.
Document model: The editor gives application code control over a custom document data structure rather than treating the document as an HTML blob.
Core modules: Four essential modules are prosemirror-model, prosemirror-state, prosemirror-view, and prosemirror-transform.
Extensions: Additional modules provide editing commands, key bindings, undo history, input macros, collaborative editing, and a basic document schema.
Examples: Official examples cover Markdown editing, image upload, custom schemas, menus, foldable nodes, code editors, linters, footnotes, track changes, and collaborative editing.
Installation: The official site says the easiest way to install ProseMirror is with npm.
Browser support: The library works on recent Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Edge versions, as well as Internet Explorer 11.
Commercial use: The project is open source and legally free to use commercially, while asking profitable users to help fund maintenance.
Support: The project directs questions and discussion to its forum and bugs to its issue tracker, with a code of conduct for communication.
Implementation limit: The core library is not a drop-in component and is intended as a modular, customizable toolkit; using it generally involves a bundler.
