Wysiwyg Editor for custom CMS

I have a custom CMS and have been using CKeditor (pre pricing change) to format articles (not the website, just the html formatted content of an article stored in our DB). I really need to update the WYSIWYG editor for news articles we post to include better support for social embeds etc. However, the pricing for these is eye watering.

I was wondering about using the Wordpress editor to feed our system. Is it viable? Has anyone done similar, or perhaps there’s a recommendation you could make?

we use Froala, super customisable, we just paid outright for the perpetual licence. I was a contributor to ckeditor in the past, wordpress classic is TinyMCE, but as for Gutenberg, you can use the Isolated Block Editor project outside of WordPress.

I’ve never tried it, but it’s react, so if you use react for your app, you’re in luck :wink:

Automattic/isolated-block-editor: Repackages Gutenberg’s editor playground as a full-featured multi-instance editor that does not require WordPress.
