This seems to be built on top of the venerable ProseMirror.

Had developed something slightly similar (for now primarily used in-house and API is somewhat clunky and unstable): essentially, a wrapper around ProseMirror that makes it easy to use in React, and introduces an additional abstraction that combines schema features and related editor plugins. Thought someone can make it better, and maybe this is that project.

Tangentially, a cool thing would be to unite ProseMirror with Automerge. That’d enable some killer collaborative editors.

How does it compare to https://github.com/remirror/remirror?

Ours looks fairly similar in the core concept. Less polished. A bit older. Will have to take a detailed look at remirror later!

Update: I created an abstraction called “feature” that seems to be similar to the extension concept, but different. Through features, editor creator can contribute related schema aspects and plugin views. Schema is always there and is not handled by a separate feature, however.

What is this providing over ProseMirror on which it's built? Like, why would I choose this library instead of just using ProseMirror directly? Adding such a page to the docs might be helpful. Here's a great example of what such a comparison might look like: https://github.com/colinhacks/zod#comparison

My biggest complain so far of Prosemirror is that everyone is recreating the same things. Prosemirror core intentionally doesn't handle a lot and is easily extandable. But as result everyone is recreating the same Plug-ins.

Wondering if that would be a good thing if Marijn created some kind of official marketplace for Plug-ins
