smores Link ParentThank you! And thanks for testing it out a bit, good to have more data points. It's super interesting how variable this can be across different operating systems and browsers.Thank you! And thanks for testing it out a bit, good to have more data points.

- Added some notes/caveats about issues that may crop up with the demo editors
- Configured the demo editors to truncate the document when unfocused, so that your browser isn’t rendering Moby Dick twice.
Also discovered some interesting things:
- I didn't really account for how much faster React's production build is than the development build. I basically can't type fast enough on my phone (Android or iPhone) to even notice the lag on the unmemoized editor
- Firefox on macOS is just crazy slow for large documents, basically no matter what. Just putting Moby Dick in a plain contenteditable is slow, putting it in the unmemoized editor is slow, and putting it in the memoized editor is best but still pretty slow
- Safari on macOS is crazy fast haha. I couldn't discern any lag at all on the unmemoized editor when I was testing on my m4 Mac Mini

Maybe this will be my push to try to actually resolve these, I think it's gonna be a pain haha.Sorry, I was mixing up responses. Just making sure I understand, you're using Firefox on an Apple laptop/desktop? Or on iOS?Right, there's no point in using this for a plain textarea. The library is designed (and used) for complex rich text editors, like dskrpt.de, which uses it for their textbook editor (with inline quizzes and other interactive elements) and Moment which uses it for its rich markdown editor, including rather elaborate interactive code blocks. Web browsers don't have any native components for this (ultimately we're using contenteditable, but contenteditable on its own is not usable as a rich text editor).
Even for just a simpler text editor, though, it's not necessarily as simple as "just use native web components." I definitely underestimated both the number of mobile Android users reading this and the variety of mobile Android experiences of React ProseMirror (always a mistake, web on Android is nothing if not chaos), but React ProseMirror is much faster than the native contenteditable element on desktop Firefox.
Anyway, sorry the demos frustrated you, that obviously wasn't the goal (well, it was a little bit the goal for the first editor)! I

Slate.js has worled out resolutions to this that we need to take a look at.

Weirdly not an issue with Firefox on my Fairphone 5 at all — even the first editor is surprisingly fast for me haha.
I make this mistake a lot, unfortunately, of testing while I'm writing on my laptop and forgetting that phone have completely different performance characteristics.

The website is fronted by Cloudflare, but I am not aware of any email protection settings (maybe it's on by default?), and I'm not personally seeing that even if I go off of WiFi. Let me poke around and see what I can find...
Update:
Seems like this is indeed enabled by default, and I should be able to turn it off for that string, as well as in general (I already have my own email obfuscation implemented on that site, so I don't have any need for it).
However, the fact that you're seeing that at all is an indication that Cloudflare thinks you might be a bot, which I'm sure is exciting news. That might explain why the site loaded so much more slowly for you on your desktop, as well.

There's no Shadow DOM on this page, so I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to there!
Just out of curiosity, do you also see slowness editing the document on https://handlewithcarecollective.github.io/react-prosemirror ? Maybe there's just an issue with my demo editor on the blog post.
It's basically not possible for the second editor to be slower — it's doing like 1/100th the work. It is possible that your browser is struggling with rendering the entire contents of Moby Dick twice, though, which I didn't really think about. Maybe when you blur the editors I should actually truncate the document, in addition to making it static

When it drops below 27 degrees (edit: Fahrenheit) outside, we have to switch to the natural gas furnace because the heat pump just stops effectively heating the house. I've done the math and when it's above freezing the heat pump does cost us the same or less (and obviously I really like that it's not burning natural gas), but the winters are increasingly unpredictable here, and we literally would not have survived the 4 straight weeks of sub-20-degree temps (something that did not happen once in my entire childhood living in this town) with only a heat pump.

I tried Alacritty first, ran into some limitation there as well, then tried Ghostty and had no issues.
That's probably not very helpful haha, but I guess my takeaway is that Ghostty just seems like a really well constructed terminal emulator. They care a lot about correctness (as can be seen from this post).

I do contract work, usually for multiple clients at a time, and having a workspace per project (+ one for not-work and one for my actual business) is a pretty huge boon for context switching. Feels a lot easier to switch back to a project when I can just swipe over to exactly the state of my tabs from when I left off.
I don't think so, but obviously I'm reading the same article you are so I could be misinterpreting:
I'm interpreting this as saying there are circumstances under which judges are allowed to downgrade the sentence to life imprisonment, but if those conditions are not met, they must default to a death sentence.
