Tiptap made building a rich-text editor effortless. Customizable, extensible, and smooth — exactly what we needed.
Every comment and review you read on Product Hunt is powered by Tiptap. We started off with a custom text input implementation (Tiptap wasn't around 10 years ago unfortunately). We are very happy to no longer maintain that maintain that. Tiptap custom extension are key for us.
Without a doubt the best WYSISYG editor right now, simple to setup and creating your own custom implementation is incredibly simple. Using this for our product announcements editor.
Best rich text editor framework. Extensible, headless, and works perfectly with our encryption layer. Way more flexible than Quill or Slate.
I absolutely love the flexibility of Tiptap. How easy it is to implement and create custom extensions on top of it. Probably the best rich-text editor library out there.
I went through countless editors and even started building my own before I discovered Tiptap. It had everything I was looking for — flexible, modern, and with first-class support for Yjs.
What makes Tiptap perfect for To To-Do is how seamlessly it integrates with Dexie Cloud and Yjs. Real-time collaboration just works — family members or teammates can edit the same task or note, and everything merges smoothly without conflicts.
Compared to other editors, Tiptap gives me both the power of a rich text editor and the flexibility of a framework I can adapt to my needs. It’s not only a great editor, it’s the foundation that makes our collaborative features possible.
Honestly, it saved me months of development and has been a joy to work with.
Tiptap has completely changed the way we build collaborative apps. The developer-friendly toolkit and real-time collaboration features are amazing. It feels like having the power of Notion’s editor without months of development work. The API is super flexible, and the documentation is solid. If you're looking to create rich text editing or collaborative experiences, Tiptap is a no-brainer!
Tiptap is a great choice if you’re building a custom editor and want full control. It’s flexible, well-documented, and framework-agnostic. Just know it’s not plug-and-play — you’ll need to do some work to shape the UI and features to your needs.
After multiple rewrites and trying multiple solutions, we have settled on Tiptap to power our WYSISYG needs. We have tried ProseMirror and other editors build on top of it until settling on Tiptap and we have high hopes for it in the future.
Huge thanks to the Tiptap team for building such an incredible editor! For DocPilot, I needed a rich text editor that could handle structured content, stream AI-generated updates, and export cleanly to DOCX. I considered using Editor.js, which has a solid plugin ecosystem and structured output, but ultimately went with Tiptap Pro because it offered native DOCX export, more flexibility, and a modern, well-documented API. Integrating it with my AI agent was really easy and allowed me to update content in the editor programmatically due to it's JSON structured content.
It gave us full control over the editor without fighting opinionated defaults like other rich text editors.
Tiptap is super flexible and easy to work with. It lets me build exactly the kind of editor I want — like Notion’s — without fighting the tools. It’s built on top of ProseMirror (so it’s powerful), but it hides all the complexity with a clean API.
I also love that I can customize everything, from toolbars to features like tables, code blocks, or slash commands. It works great with React, has solid TypeScript support, and the docs are actually helpful. If I ever want real-time collaboration, that’s possible too.
First, unlike many other products, Tiptap distinguishes between text color and background color with two separate icons. This approach has caused some confusion, as users often find it difficult to identify the correct icon for adjusting text color, leading to an inefficient and frustrating experience.
Second, I noticed that the design displayed on your official website does not match the actual product. The website showcases a different interface of the color settings than what is currently in use, which adds to the confusion and disappointment, as it does not accurately represent the product I am using.
I wish to know if there are plans for future updates to address these issues. Specifically, will the user interface be adjusted to make the color settings more intuitive?
