I use TipTap as a rich text editor in my open-source weekly journaling app.[0] One of the big gotchas I've had with TipTap is that it's extremely sluggish once you get to more than 300 words or so and you're using different formatting options. There's a multi-second delay between typing the word and the text appearing in the screen. The APIs are pretty nice, and I was able to convert to/from Markdown with it easier t…

Try disabling spellcheck, this has serious performance issues for content editable in recent chrome versions. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=107671...

Oh, interesting. I'll try that. I feel like I've seen it on FF too, so I'm not sure if that's the problem.

Tiptap is great, I made a few custom extensions for it to build an interstitial journaling app (https://heedful.app). The documentation is still lacking to some extent, but the source code is easy to understand.

Glad to see Tiptap getting more attention. I've used 1.0 and 2.0 and they've both been great to work with. However one GIANT roadblock in the project I was working on was the inability to create custom inline components, like say a link with inline buttons for removing/changing the url. I believe there still isn't support for this type of functionality.
