## Description

In this talk I will walk you through our experiences and learnings from creating our own rich text editor component for DeepL.com, shedding light on the many issues, insights and surprises we ran into along the way.
From performance to accessibility, from browser bugs to interference from popular plugins, no stone will be left unturned in this entertaining journey through the many challenges that await anyone brave (or perhaps naive?) enough to try their hand at writing their own rich text editor in HTML and Javascript.
