​BlockNote is an open source, block-based rich text editor for React that offers a polished, Notion-style user experience with minimal setup. It comes with built-in UI components like menus and toolbars, which are fully customizable. It supports drag-and-drop functionality, allowing users to organize content into blocks that can be nested or rearranged. Developers can extend the editor with custom blocks, schemas, and plugins, benefiting from first-class TypeScript support for type safety and autocompletion. BlockNote enables real-time collaboration using Yjs, with support for providers like Liveblocks and PartyKit, allowing multiple users to edit documents simultaneously. It also supports theming, markdown, and HTML conversion, and can be used with vanilla JavaScript for non-React projects. Built on top of ProseMirror and TipTap, BlockNote simplifies the process of adding a rich text editor to applications, eliminating the need to build interface elements from scratch.

Rich content editors should, ideally, produce clean, semantically meaningful documents while still being easy for users to understand. ProseMirror tries to bridge the gap between editing explicit, unambiguous content like Markdown or XML, and classical WYSIWYG editors. It does this by implementing a WYSIWYG-style editing interface for documents more constrained and structured than plain HTML. You can customize the shape and structure of the documents your editor creates, and tailor them to your application's needs. ProseMirror has built-in, ground-up, rock solid support for collaborative editing, where multiple people work on the same document in real time. Document schemas allow editing documents with a custom structure without writing your own editor from scratch. A modular architecture makes sure you only load the code you need, and can replace parts of the system as needed. A plugin system allows you to easily enable additional functionality.
