Smoores.dev - Why I rebuilt ProseMirror’s renderer in React

I wrote a (long, sorry) blog post following the journey I took that eventually led to @handlewithcare/react-prosemirror, the library formerly known as @nytimes/react-prosemirror. I realized as I was writing this that I’ve been working on this problem for five years! Anyway, now that the react-based renderer is finally published and stable, I figured I would spend some time documenting why it exists and what problems it solves. The post actually has a lot of ProseMirror code in it, too — it’s full of code snippets and demos to illustrate the challenges we encountered. Hope this is interesting to other folks!
