While the world obsesses over AI-generated content, a quiet Czech company has been the backbone of how we actually create and edit it for over two decades. CKSource isn't a household name, but their editor powers millions of websites, from Fortune 500s to newsrooms. This is the story of a developer-first company that built a billion-dollar category from a single text box.

"They don't chase hype cycles; they solve the fundamental problem of content creation—and that's a billion-dollar business."

The tech stack tells the story of a modern, lean operation: Tailwind CSS and Bootstrap for rapid UI development, Google Analytics and Hotjar for understanding user behavior, and HSTS for security. They're not reinventing the wheel—they're building reliable tools that work. The absence of heavy frameworks speaks to their pragmatic approach: ship fast, iterate based on real usage data, and focus on the core product experience.
