Hi HN,
We’re the team behind Tiptap, an open source headless text editor framework built on top of ProseMirror. After two months in beta, Tiptap 3.0 is now stable.
Tiptap gives developers full control over their editing experience. You can build a rich text editor, a collaborative doc tool, or something completely custom. It doesn’t come with a UI, so you bring your own components and design.
What’s new in 3.0:
We cleaned up the core, reduced complexity, and made it easier to integrate into modern apps. A few examples:
- Smaller bundles
- Stricter types
- Cleaner API
- New static renderer (output as HTML, Markdown, React, or anything else)
- SSR support
- Several features moved from paid to open source (like emoji, math, file handling)
- General improvements to the editor and extension manager
There are some breaking changes, mostly around package names and how imports are structured. We wrote a migration guide to walk you through it: https://tiptap.dev/docs/guides/upgrade-tiptap-v2
How we make money:
We offer commercial tools like a collaborative editing and AI backend and a set of UI components. The core editor is open source and will stay that way.
We’d love your thoughts. What’s still confusing? What could be better? Happy to answer anything here or in the GitHub repo.
Thanks for reading,
The Tiptap team
