Rich text editing on the web is a solved problem. On mobile, it's a battlefield. At Digg, we built a rich text editor in React Native anyway. This talk covers what we built, what broke, and the one architectural decision that made everything else possible: a universal content format that every platform, from the editor to the backend to moderation, agrees on. You'll walk away with a practical framework for designing cross-platform content formats, useful well beyond rich text for any unified system.
This talk has been presented at React Day Berlin 2026, check out the latest edition of this React Conference.
