Rails has introduced Lexxy, a new rich text editor built on Meta's Lexical framework, designed to improve the editing experience in Action Text.

Why it matters: Lexxy offers better HTML semantics, markdown support, syntax highlighting, and interactive prompts, enhancing text editing in Rails.

The big picture: This editor makes Action Text configurable like Active Record, enabling easier integration of alternative editors in Rails.

Quick takeaway: Lexxy addresses limitations of the previous Trix editor and lays a strong foundation for future improvements.

Commenters say: Users are curious about the new configurability and interested in comparing Lexxy with other editors like Tiptap.
