Rails has introduced Lexxy, a new rich text editor for Action Text, built on Meta's Lexical framework to enhance text editing experience.

Why it matters: Lexxy improves HTML semantics, adds Markdown support, real-time syntax highlighting, and better attachment previews.

The big picture: It replaces Trix, overcoming technical limits and enabling easier editor customization in Rails like database configuration.

Quick takeaway: Early beta available now, aiming to offer a more powerful and flexible text editing foundation for Rails apps.

Commenters say: Users appreciate the modern features and customization potential, while some await stability and broader integration details.
