Golden Ratio Typography Editor

<h1>Golden Opportunity: The Ultimate Text Editor</h1>
<p class="caption">A re-imagined text editor with GRT formatting? Yes, please! 😍</p>
<p><span class="drop-cap">C</span>reating a web page, crafting an email, or writing a banger social media post? You’re gonna need a <strong>text editor.</strong></p>
<p>But have you ever noticed how <em>bland</em> and <em>useless</em> most text editors are?</p>
<div class="callout note">
<p>For example, try creating something like this <strong>note callout</strong> on your WordPress site or in an email broadcast. Such a simple and powerful formatting element should be easy, right? 😏</p>
</div>
<p>You’d think so! But it seems like <strong>the world is stuck</strong> in a holding pattern where we only have access to the same, boring formatting tools we’ve been using since word processors became a thing.</p>
<p>It’s time for an upgrade. It’s time for an editor to deliver <strong>exciting formatting styles</strong> that shine in web pages, emails, heck—anywhere you compose text!</p>

<h2>What’s Missing from Modern Editors?</h2>
<p class="caption">We can have it all. So why settle for “good enough?” 🤔</p>
<p><span class="drop-cap">L</span>et’s take a look at two of the most popular editors in the world so you can <strong>see what you’ve been missing.</strong></p>

<p class="caption">The WordPress editor offers basic formatting but <strong>zero eye-catching styles.</strong></p>
<p>Nobody wants to create a new web page that’s just a <strong>boring wall of text.</strong> But with the WordPress editor, that’s all you can do!</p>
<p>Without any colorful elements or other eye-catching styles, the WordPress editor leaves a lot to be desired. No wonder so many people think they need Page Builder Plugins to create cool pages!</p>
<p>What about email broadcasts—are those editors any better? Let’s take a look at ConvertKit, which offers one of the most well-regarded email editors in the industry today.</p>
<img decoding="async" src="/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/convertkit-editor.png" alt="ConvertKit broadcast editor" width="743" height="142" class="center pop" />
<p class="caption">The ConvertKit editor toolbar includes a bunch of formatting you’ll never use.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the most useful formatting options—sub-headlines, lists, and blockquotes—are hidden behind a click (the leftmost icon).</p>
<p>It’s true that email styling is more rigid than web page styling, but elements like <strong>callouts</strong> and <strong>buttons</strong> <em>do</em> work in emails. Wouldn’t the ConvertKit editor be more exciting with those tools instead of... 4 alignment buttons?</p>
<p><strong>Bottom line?</strong> We can do better with GRT.</p>

<h2>The Future of Text Formatting Is Already Here</h2>
<p class="caption">Why wait? Start winning with GRT 🏆</p>
<p><span class="drop-cap">T</span>he GRT Editor is <strong>the new standard for text editors,</strong> and there are two main reasons why:</p>
<ul>
<li>First, the GRT Editor includes <a href="/styles/"><strong>all the modern text formatting elements</strong></a> we associate with remarkable web pages (or emails, or even PDFs!): Callouts, buttons, captions, highlights, and even full-width bleeds (like the orange section above).</li>
<li>Second, <strong>the re-imagined toolbar makes your life easier:</strong> Most formatting styles are only one click away, and the floating selection toolbar offers inline formatting right when you need it (bold, italic, etc).</li>
</ul>
<p>I can’t tell you why text editors have been stuck in the same design rut for so long, but I <em>can</em> tell you this—<strong>after using the GRT Editor, you’ll demand it everywhere you compose text!</strong></p>

Selection Format Bar

Exactly what you need, exactly where you need it.

When you select any text, the GRT Editor reveals a floating bar with inline formatting styles—bold, italic, link, highlight, drop cap, and more!

Insert Media Bar

Insert videos and images on the fly!

Whenever you hit enter to start a new section (paragraph, heading, whatever), the Insert Media Bar will appear, enabling you to select images or videos to include in your content.

Media Format Bar

Because only certain styles apply to images, a special formatting toolbar appears whenever you click on an image (or video).

After formatting your images, you can always add a caption separately!

Tips for Using the GRT Editor

To create a button, first create a link. Next, click anywhere inside your link, and then select the button style you want from the Callouts, Buttons dropdown selector.

Working with callouts? If you pop a callout but then decide you want to use a different color callout instead, you’ll need to remove the pop before attempting to change the callout color.

What can you do right now with the GRT Editor? 🤔

Eventually, I’d like to see the GRT Editor become the standard wherever you compose text. Just imagine how great it’ll be to have all these formatting styles available when you’re crafting messages for your audience!

But for now, you can play around with the Editor and see how easy it is to apply many of the GRT text formatting styles. (And hopefully, you’ll see why the GRT Editor is superior to any other editor you’ve ever used…)

The GRT Editor has also been adapted for use with GRT for Email (and people really seem to love this):
