GrapesJS out in the wild

We use GrapesJS to power our CMS at http://saasquatch.com

Widgets

• GrapesJS powers the editing of the content in our in-app javascript widget
• We have customized most of the toolbars, removed most of the default components, and have it made up of only custom web components
• Plugged in https://cloudinary.com/ for asset management
• It works pretty great with Web Components and https://stenciljs.com/ ❤️
• Recommendation: Use GrapesJS with Web Components

Emails

• We also use it for HTML email editing, but find that it isn't great (because HTML emails are a nightmare to get right, not directly a fault of GrapesJS....) We're looking to switch to GrapesJS + MJML or https://beefree.io/ to make the end-user experience more bearable.
• Recommendation: Avoid GrapesJS for plain HTML email templates

My project has finally been released, so I can show it off now:

It's part of our tabletop RPG battlemap editor DungeonFog and used for creating notes and adventure books for game masters. The idea is that you can print them to PDF from the browser, so it's kinda like a simpler InDesign.

We're upgrading to GrapesJS for our Landing Page and Email designers in DailyStory.

We made quite a few changes, mostly to turn-off or disable certain functionality while also writing all new components from the ground-up so we could control the editing experience (we limit what you can/cannot do in the designer), e.g. where blocks and components can be placed.

And, all the landing page components are built around Bootstrap. Just keeps things super-simple for our customers.

We then had to start from scratch and write another set of components / blocks from the ground up for email templating with tables to work in an email-friendly way while controlling what could/could not be done in the editor. We needed different types of components for different situations, e.g. a non-editable/removable layout container table vs. a draggable content section table.

We also integrated our own file manager.

We're launching our landing page editor to our customers in 2 weeks (still putting the finishing touches on it). We're planning to launch our updates to the email editor in late July. We started both these projects about 9 months ago (worked on them on-and-off). I'll share some screen shots of the email editor later.

Great project @artf
