Most Wanted Froala Editor Release

I’ve always been amazed by how many feature requests we get each week for the Froala WYSIWYG HTML Editor updates, what do we get in every release, is there something new? Just looking at the new release we made today, 2.7.0, and the feature list, it’s obvious that this is by far one of the most wanted releases.

The top four most requested features that we ever had on the list were image captions, embeds, custom buttons for the quick insert tool, and custom hex color in the color picker. The great news is that we’ve done all four in the new release.

Froala WYSIWYG Editor Image Caption

Image Caption

We all know images are like a thousand words, but sometimes the caption is necessary to point out something in the picture that is not obvious. Image captions can be anything from a few words to an entire description sentence. This text helps your users learn more about the image.

An image placed in the middle of text immediately draws the reader’s attention. It might even pull him out of the original copy, so the image caption plays the crucial role of bring him back.

How can you add an image caption? It is so intuitive that it doesn’t need any steps or instructions to use. Just go ahead and play with images.

 

Embeds

The second most wanted feature is embedded, like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and other publishing platforms embedded. We already had video embeds, but that is not enough for a WYSIWYG HTML Editor, a.k.a. rich text editor. As the name suggests, rich media is what defines these editors.

Froala WYSIWYG Editor Embeds

The problem we were facing is that we had requests for very different providers. So we wanted to offer you the possibility of embedding any content you wish, selecting from an extensive list of providers. This lead us the embed.ly. With over 500 providers, embed.ly is probably the best service when it comes to embedded content, and here is an example of how to do it.

Quick Insert Buttons

The quick insert tool makes content creation faster, adding rich media on the go. Your most used options are at hand all the time, easy and intuitive to use. The “most used” options term is highly dependent on each type of application and its requirements.

Starting with version 2.7.0 of our WYSIWYG HTML editor, UX designers and developers can define their own list of “most used” options for their users, because they know their users better than we do, the same way we know what you need.

Froala WYSIWYG Editor Quick Insert

Yes, the buttons available in the Quick Insert tool are customizable, and even more: you can define your own button and include it there. There is no limit to what the quick insert tool can do now.

Hex Color Input

The color picker was already customizable: from colors to layout. But in some way it was still limited: if the color you needed was not in the list, then you had no way of using it.

Some people love colors, or they simply need them. No matter the reason, we added a special input that allows users to add any color to their content.

Froala Editor Freelancers

From a business perspective, having the right developers working on your product or service is crucial. Working with freelancers makes this aspect even more important. The resources businesses have to put into the project and the outcome are very dependent on the developers’ experience with the technologies they work with.

Businesses should never choose technologies that their current developers (either employees or freelancers) are familiar with, but instead, they should use the technologies that make their products better and more desirable. Most of the time, this means finding a new freelancer to do the job.

With the growth in popularity the Froala Editor is currently seeing, there is a significant number of requests for experienced Froala Editor developers. Some people started creating jobs on freelancing websites, and others turned to us for help.

Along the years since Froala was founded, we’ve been working with thousands of developers, and we believe today it’s time to start building a freelancing platform where developers can squeeze out the best of our WYSIWYG editor into any project.

For Businesses

The Froala Editor Freelancers platform is here to allow businesses improve their products and grow beyond their current level. This helps them not only to build faster but also to improve the user experience of their products.

For Freelancers

Web developers are currently facing a massive wave of technologies, and for some of them, this is overwhelming. Developers tend to learn as much as they can instead of focusing on just some technologies and be the best at what they’re doing. Through Froala Editor Freelancers we’re empowering developers to use their knowledge and expertise in the best way possible.

How?

The platform is solely built to help both businesses and freelancers. The Froala company has the role of being a facilitator, making the connection between the 2 parties possible. We will not get involved in any other aspects of the collaboration, including the payment. You have full control over this and Froala doesn’t take any fees or taxes.

Froala Editor Freelancers just started off the ground, and it is currently work in progress, we have a list of pending requests and a list of excited freelancers. If you want this as bad as we do, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
