Review Tiptap?

Reviewers mostly praise Tiptap as a flexible, developer-friendly editor that is easy to set up, extend, and adapt to custom branding. Users repeatedly highlight custom extensions, plugins, interactive node views, and the ability to drop down to ProseMirror when needed. Several say it helped them build rich, collaborative editors quickly, while the makers of Mintlify specifically call out smooth real-time collaboration and strong Yjs support. The main criticism is narrower: one reviewer found the color UI confusing, and another wanted better documentation.

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?

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for your feedback and sorry for the confusion about the website vs. demos/templates behavior! We would like to clarify a few things.

Tiptap is a headless text editor, meaning that we provide the underlying infrastructure and our users decide how to design and implement the UI, including how color tools are presented. The examples on our website showcase different ways Tiptap can be configured, rather than a fixed, pre-built UI.

However, we understand that expectations may differ based on what's shown in demos versus actual implementations. We're working on new template offerings, including an editor UI component library and a Google Docs-style template that will provide a more familiar color picking experience in the future.

Thanks again for your feedback, and please let us know if we can help :-)

Congrats on the launch, I love TipTap! I reviewed a bunch of editing libraries before picking TipTap to build https://duckbook.ai Things I love: nice high-level interfaces to customize behavior, can write my own plugins, interactive node views are powerful, and it's built on ProseMirror (so you can pop the hood to a lower level if needed). Overall, I've been really happy with the choice, and building a slick Notion-like editor product has been fun :)

used Tiptap to build DocsHound

•3 reviews

The ability to build a highly custom editor via TipTap's rich API, coupled with its strong React support, made it the clear choice for DocsHound. We also really appreciated the continuous updates and active development, which proved incredibly helpful during our dev cycle.

used Tiptap to build WriteRush 3.0

•15 reviews

WriteRush uses TipTap for its rich text editor and it's awesome! It makes the content editable dev experience so simple and easy. I considered lexical and even codemirror, but went with TipTap as it was perfect for my needs. I also use marked and turndown (npm) to convert to and from markdown

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.

Thanks, Kevin! Really appreciate your feedback 🙏 For more plug-and-play, we offer UI components and a template in the meantime. Here's the link: https://tiptap.dev/docs/ui-components/templates/simple-editor

Tiptap is absolutely fantastic! We've been using it for our product at Fine and we love it. It's so easy to create new extensions, so you can truly create the typing experience you want. @philip_isik & Team - Keep up the good work! (Quick plug - we created an AI agent that helps us create more Tiptap extensions, you can find it here: https://github.com/finehq/agent-...)

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!

So good to see TipTap launch a paid plan. Totally worth it. We have been using TipTap as our main editor (OSS version) for a while now at featureOS (https://featureos.app), and it has been the most comfortable and stable implementations we've ever done.

Tiptap is the best open source editor out there, and extending it is surprisingly easy. This allowed us to stand up a pretty awesome editor at my company in less than a week, with features that none of our competitors had. Inspirational and also super cool that this comes out of an open source collective. Def try it!

I've experimented with a number of text editors and tiptap is, hands down the best out there. Generous free tier with amazing features on their paid plans. Easy to setup and extend and great support
