Overview
Froala originated in Romania and the company behind it was founded by software developers Diana Neculai and Ștefan Neculai. It was acquired in 2018 by Idera, Inc., a U.S.-based software holding company headquartered in Houston.[1][2][3]
Froala Editor is implemented in JavaScript and is intended to be embedded into web applications to provide in-browser, document-style editing. It is a lightweight component with a developer-oriented API and supports integration through script includes or framework plugins.[4][5]

Froala’s founders began working on the editor while building a website builder, and the editor component became the primary product. The editor was publicly launched in January 2014, initially operating out of Bucharest.[6][2]
On 19 June 2018, Idera, Inc. announced the acquisition of Froala.[1][7][2]
