ContentTools vs Proto.io

ContentTools is a JavaScript library for adding WYSIWYG editing to HTML pages. Developers include its CSS and JavaScript files, mark the page regions that should be editable, and configure the editor to initialize from those regions. Editing tools support inserting and converting images, videos, tables, and lists; users can drag blocks to rearrange them and resize images and videos. Undo and redo are supported without a stated limit during an editing session. Developers can define a palette of styles for eligible elements. The library is framework agnostic and extensible, and its five component libraries can be used independently. The maker describes integrations with CMS applications and web frameworks including WordPress, Yii, Laravel, and Django. ContentTools is free and MIT licensed. It does not store edited content or provide user authentication, so developers need to configure their own save mechanism. Its image-upload interface includes rotation and cropping, but the demo simulates those functions without a server-side API. Pre-built project files are available in the repository’s build folder.

Proto.io is a web-based, no-code tool for building interactive prototypes for iOS, Android, and web. It includes native iOS and Android apps, more than 250 UI components that mimic native behavior, and over 1,000 customizable templates. Its library lists more than 6,000 icons, stock images, and sound effects. Prototypes can use over 80 events and over 40 actions, including nested and multidirectional scrolling, as well as 18 built-in screen transitions. Users can share links and snapshots or export to PDF, PNG, and HTML. The free plan is limited to one user, one active project, five prototype screens, and 10 MB of storage; it allows single-click sharing but no additional reviewers. A 15-day trial is listed. Freelancer costs $29 a month, billed monthly; annual billing is listed at $24 per month. Other listed monthly plans are Startup at $49.00 USD, Agency at $99.00 USD, and Corporate at $199.00 USD.
