Death to the textarea (and what to do about it)

Text editing is easy: bold, italic, done! Until your users want more features, and suddenly your innocent textarea is no longer cutting it and you are building Google Docs. The textarea had a good run, but its time is up.

In this session, we’ll walk through integrating TinyMCE, an open source WYSIWYG, into any application. We’ll explore advanced collaboration features, and how to fully integrate AI to help your users with content creation. If you are not afraid of JavaScript, even if it’s not your favorite language, and want to give a great experience to your users without having to build (and maintain) a full-fledged rich editor yourself, this session is for you.
