Slate currently doesn't support Android devices.

There is a KickStarter to add support for it though

So we've sunk a lot of time into making Slate work for us. It is a good idea and generally a good editor, thanks for the work!

However I feel like the documentation should SCREAM about this... After a tonne of man hours on this, we now need to rip it out and go with something else.

@badrequest400 Hey, thank you for sharing the thoughtful feedback despite the frustration you and your team must feel. I'll cut out some time and add a note.

I got the same issue on

• Mac OS. (Still working well on Window).
• Chrome
• Unicode. (Still working well with English).

[duongmngo]

Reproduce:
Step 1: Type Unicode sentence.
Step 2: Backspace until empty, then type 1 character. The placeholder is not hidden while the text is showing.

[duongmngo]

placeholder={!focusTextBox ? placeholder || t('enter-your-text') : undefined}
Fixed!!

This is still reproducible with 0.63 on android.
Random crashes on space, backspace or enter.
Both Unicode and NonUnicode
Text seems its duplicating randomly.

I really hope this will get fixed, for now I have to scrape the editor on android

Did you find a better alternative, or did you go native?
