Exciting stuff Luca. Cool to see you're using BlockNote as the editor (project I'm working on). Let us know if you have any feedback for us / features you'd love to see!

In our case, they started building on top of our project and then reached out, so not sure I can share any lessons on this. With that said: - I think administrations in the EU are …

Think of Docs more of a modern, kind of Notion-style collaboration tool. It's not meant to be a Word replacement for full-scale document authoring (I believe La Suite will work wit…

Great to see this on HN. fyi, La Suite is an umbrella project built by DINUM in France that started several years ago, mainly to enable people in the public administration to use m…

They're pretty mindful of sponsoring things that also works for us. I.e.: we try to align both our roadmaps as good as possible. We're discussing how to work best with downstream d…

I work on BlockNote ( https://www.blocknotejs.org ), the block-based editor that powers Docs ( https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs ). 1.5 year ago DINUM (La Suite) and OpenDesk …

Yep! Docs is using our editor BlockNote ( https://www.blocknotejs.org ) which builds upon Prosemirror (and we're also proud to be sponsors of Marijn from Prosemirror who's done an …

Maintainer of BlockNote here (and contributor to HocusPocus). I can't speak for Docs as to why they chose BlockNote, but can answer some of your questions. BlockNote is actually bu…

Hi HN! SignalSync is an experiment where I extend Signal Desktop with collaborative text editing support. It works by shipping CRDT updates (Automerge / Yjs) over the chat transpor…

Congrats! I used PartyKit since the early beta; for the open source React rich text editor I'm working on ( https://www.blocknotejs.org , the homepage runs on Partykit), and PartyK…

Congrats OP on launching this, looking forward to dive further in! It's great to see people experimenting in the Reactive + Live Programming space as like you mention, I think it c…

Thanks, great feedback! Although it's entirely architected on a local-first stack, I indeed haven't shipped the main benefit of this, a locally installable app. There's a WIP PR he…

This article has been quite the inspiration for many projects and progress on this front. I think we're seeing more and more developments around CRDTs and local-first frameworks / …

Do you have a link to the MIT license of the editor? As far as I can see its also CC NC

If you're interested in this hybrid of docs and live coding, I'm building something similar for the Typescript / Javascript / React ecosystem @ https://www.typecell.org (open sourc…

Thanks for the shout-out!

Congrats on the YC funding and the launch! I've enjoyed building https://www.blocknotejs.org on top of TipTap / Prosemirror. fyi, BlockNote aims to be a bit more batteries-included…

Fyi, I'm building an open source block-based editor @ https://www.blocknotejs.org that uses one large contenteditable and doesn't have those downsides you mention. It's built on to…

Congrats! Having wrestled a lot with contenteditable I realize this is no easy feat. I'm building a similar library, but with a block-based (Notion style) approach, also on top of …

Thanks for the feedback! It was designed from the philosophy that existing frameworks like PM or even TipTap are too low-level - but I can understand you need more ways to customiz…

It can be used for other frameworks than React, but the React version comes with built-in UI components. See https://www.blocknotejs.org/docs/vanilla-js for more info

fyi, from my experience it’s still quite a lot of work to build on top of Prosemirror and TipTap directly to do so. So I’ve started working on https://www.blocknotejs.org to make t…

Hi HN! BlockNote is an extensible, block-based editor (similar to Notion, Coda, etc.). Featuring different block types, animations (try changing block types, indenting, etc), menus…

What makes me most excited about this is that it uses LLMs in a way that the result (a computer program) is still understandable and editable (hackable). Instead of having an AI mo…
