# Insigths new editor and data structure.



### Problem
- The current **editor engine** is a **"black box"** that's hard to make complex customizations.
- The format we **store** Insights content **data** it's not extensible, scalable and it's **hard to manipulate**.

```mermaid
graph LR
A((Insighs web))-->|HTML|B[(DB)]
B -->|HTML|A
```

### Solution
1. Implement the editor with a **new engine** called **Quill**. 
2. Migrate the current Insight's **content data** to the **Quill Delta** data structure, that was designed for this porpuse.

```mermaid
graph LR
A((Insighs web))-->|HTML|B(Quill editor)
B-->|Delta|C[(DB)]
C -->|Delta|B
B -->|HTML|A
```

### Benefits
- More control over our editor, **unlocking** the development of **complex interacions** such as **Zettelkasten** and more.
- More power over our **data**, falicitating the future **machine learning** and **AI** interations.
- Reimplement **editor** with more context, making it neater, more robust and **competitive**.
- Makes it **much easier** to build an Insighst **mobile app** with editing capabilities.

### Cost
 About **two weeks** worth of development.
