In their own words
Pell
Pell is a free, self-hosted WYSIWYG text editor for web pages. It is written in pure JavaScript using ES6 and has no dependencies. The package is listed at 1.38 kB minified and gzipped, or 3.54 kB minified. Built-in actions cover bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, headings, paragraphs, quotes, lists, code, horizontal rules, links, and images. You can add custom actions and decide which controls appear and in what order. Styling can be changed through Pell’s Sass file or by overriding CSS. The onChange callback provides the editor’s HTML output, and the project demonstrates converting that HTML to Markdown with Turndown. Installation is documented through npm or by including a browser script and stylesheet. React and Vue examples are available. Listed browser support includes IE 9+, Chrome 5+, Firefox 4+, Safari 5+, and Opera 11.6+. Pell uses the MIT license.
