Lexical contributor here. I love what you've build here! A full-fledged collaborative rich text editor. I'm glad that Lexical worked well for you, we'd be happy to take your feedback throughout the development process, you can reach out to me over Discord by the same username or on our server.

Mostly referring to high-traffic surfaces here, like Facebook Feed or Messenger. The % varies depending on the environment and the previous Draft.js implementation (and their plugins) but overall it's been very positive, especially with low-end devices that went way over 16ms response time per keypress.

Thanks for trying it out! Mind drafting a quick issue here so that we can have a look? https://github.com/facebook/lexical/issues

No docs yet - but this code pointer for physical files (plugin) may help https://github.com/facebook/lexical/blob/main/packages/lexic...

We listen to a few typing related events and do some computation from here: keydown, input, beforeinput. Android, contrary to any other device, mostly relies on composition so Lexical makes sure to handle and flush these events accordingly.

If you're curious, this is where it all starts - https://github.com/facebook/lexical/blob/main/packages/lexic...

Running your own editor with built-in plugins does not take more than a few lines of code - see the playground code https://github.com/facebook/lexical/blob/main/packages/lexic...

We already provide most common plugins out of the box (inc. lists and tables) but if you're planning to build a feature rich interface with many custom plugins it may take somewhat longer.

For 1. 2. see @trueadm's answer here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31022152

3. Lexical is not strictly tied to collaboration but its plugin system was built to be extensible enough to cater all developers needs. Collaboration is just another plugin (@lexical/yjs) and does listen and perform the conversion every time there's changes in the EditorState.

This model of independent plugins that can be plugged-and-played without further ado also simplifies devX as collaboration can be added later when the application is mature without the need to rethink any of the plugins that were originally created for non-collab plain/rich text.

4. Lexical Web is just the first of many. We want to port the API and fundamentals to various others platforms, including iOS for which we are already performing the initial set of testing. Cross-platform means the API, including Node's will look alike and EditorState and node's properties will be compatible even if behind the scenes the reconciler is constrained by the toolkit available on each platform (and doesn't render or behave 100% like Web's).
