> One that I've repeatedly gone back to over the years is paginated rich text editing. It's simply impossible to do with contenteditable in a product level way - one of the reasons Google docs has a custom layout engine.

As do we at Nutrient, we use Harfbuzz in WASM plus our own layouting - see the demo here: https://document-authoring-demo.nutrient.io/

Getting APIs for that into the Platform would make life significantly easier, but thanks to WASM it’s not a total showstopper.

Btw, I saw you’re working on sync at ElectricSQL - say hi to Oleksii :)
