- customizable rich text toolbar for a blog CMS
- inline content editing without heavy frameworks

When to choose
- you need a tiny dependency-free wysiwyg editor
- you want markdown shorthand while editing rich text

When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained editor with modern security fixes
- you need collaborative editing or a full document model
