## What it is
grande.js is a small JavaScript library that replicates Medium's in-browser rich text editing experience using contenteditable elements. It provides a floating toolbar with text styling options like bold, italic, headings, blockquotes, links, and lists.

- add a medium-style editor to my blog
- rich text editing in the browser with contenteditable
- floating toolbar for text formatting
- let users write formatted posts on my website
- lightweight wysiwyg editor without heavy dependencies
- implement medium-like text selection toolbar

## When to avoid
