Novel is an open-source Notion-style WYSYWIG editor with AI-powered autocompletions ✨ Built with Next.js Tiptap, OpenAI, and the Vercel AI SDK: https://sdk.vercel.ai/docs
Hey Product Hunt! Super excited to launch Novel – an open-source Notion-style WYSYWIG editor with AI-powered autocompletions ✨
Some context: I've always been a huge fan of Notion. Since Vercel launched the AI SDK yesterday, I decided to take this opportunity to recreate Notion's block editor from scratch.
Bonus: Incorporate some of Notion's latest AI features with `npm i ai` 🪄
Novel is built on the following stack:
◆ Next.js – framework
◆ Tiptap – text editor
◆ OpenAI - AI completions
◆ Vercel AI SDK – AI library
◆ Vercel – deployments
◆ TailwindCSS – styles
◆ Cal Sans – font
Novel also handles image uploads via drag & drop / copy & paste.
Images are stored as base64 strings in localStorage currently, but I'm planning to implement uploads to Vercel Blob in the future.
Best part about Novel – it's free & fully open source! Feel free to check out the code: https://novel.sh/github
Hope y'all like this – let me know if you have any feedback!
Novel was an awesome drop-in tool for the editor experience. I tried lots of others but it made it so easy to get setup with a great UX out of the box.
