Rails 8 has not yet a release date at this time of writing. What kind of feature could be fun in the (future) Ruby-on-Rails 8 release ? Let's dream.Rails tend to anticipate the trends - which means how neat are the maintainers. ActionText is one example. Before Trix, let's face it, giving any non-techie user the ability to write content was quite costly - or painful. Nowadays however, there are better tools than Trix. Simple features like "please create a
paragraph for every new paragraph" are still not released after years of PRs and requests from the community. I know, Open Source is given for free, and we should acclaim maintainer first instead of complaining. So first, a big thank you to all maintainers. Now for the Rails team, we would see two viable options :Make Trix stay on top of competition. Notably for SEO features and HTML compliance -
was just one example. But that would require tons of energy on only one tiny part of the Rails stack.Abandon Trix, and rely on the work of others.
