tiptap VS realtime

A rich text editor built with Tiptap for long-form fiction. Chapter management, word count goals, writing streaks, and exports to EPUB, DOCX, and PDF.

If you’re maintaining an open-source library or building a community around a project, you’re eventually going to look for a place for that community to live. I’ve spent the last few years navigating this as a core maintainer of Tiptap—an open-source framework for building rich text editors.

Frontend: A responsive interface built with vanilla HTML/CSS/JavaScript, using TipTap as the core rich-text editor for a smooth, native writing feel.

Hey HN, Philip here, Co-founder at Tiptap (https://tiptap.dev/).

We just shipped an upgrade to our DOCX import and export capabilities, including new extensions, new endpoints, better formatting handling, and custom node support. This may be for you if your product deals with Microsoft Word files in any way.

We rebuilt our DOCX handling pipeline to give developers more control and flexibility:

- Import endpoint: Converts .docx to Tiptap JSON, accurately handles complex formatting (lists, tables, inline styles).

- Export extension: Generates .docx from your editor content, including custom nodes.

- Custom node support: Map internal components (e.g. callouts, embeds) to standard DOCX structures.

- Style control: Define exactly how DOCX output should look to match your app’s UI.

- Frontend or backend: Run conversion wherever it makes sense for your setup.

- Image upload handling: We give you hooks to manage storage your way.

What's still on the roadmap:

1) Import and export of DOCX headers and footers

2) Import and export DOCX pagination

3) Import and export comments, version history, and suggestions

Show HN: Tiptap Editor 3.0 Beta is out.

Hi HN! Philip here from Tiptap (https://tiptap.dev/). We're excited to announce Tiptap 3.0 Beta, a major upgrade built with and for the open source community. It's still extension-based, still unopinionated, but we've tackled some of the biggest developer headaches:

Enhanced TypeScript support:

Hi, Philip here from Tiptap. We just released a new set of open source UI components for [Tiptap](https://tiptap.dev/), our headless text editor framework.

These are handcrafted React components that integrate directly with Tiptap’s headless core, things like toolbars, dropdowns, formatting buttons, upload controls, etc. They’re MIT licensed and fully optional. You can use them as-is or customize every part.

There’s also a CLI that sets everything up for you: project scaffolding, recommended defaults, and a working example.

This is for folks who like the flexibility of Tiptap but don’t want to start from zero every time they need an editor UI. It doesn’t change how Tiptap works – just gives you a faster way to build on top of it.

Worth mentioning that WAL is enabling and used by Supabase Realtime [0] and WalEx [1] which both are doing very similar thing - polling the WAL changes in order to emit them as Websocket events.

I never worked with WalEx but have experience with Supabase Realtime and it is a joy to work with and fits great into the Supa ecosystem. So many layers are disappearing when you rely more on Postgres!

We are starting to add OpenTelemetry support to all our core products and our Telemetry server. OpenTelemetry (OTel) standardizes logs, metrics, and traces in a vendor-agnostic format, so you can ingest data into tools like Datadog, Honeycomb, or any monitoring solution you already use. While you'll still have the freedom to bring your own observability stack, we're preparing to surface this data natively in the Supabase dashboard.

supabase/realtime

Supabase has a feature called Postgres Changes, which is part of their realtime product offering. It allows you to listen to changes that happen in a single table, and send those changes to clients that are allowed to receive them.

So this cool low-code no-code platform provides a realtime feature that lets you do a bunch of stuffs:

You can LISTEN/NOTIFY. Or you can use logical replication and a custom subscriber.[1] Supabase uses the latter.[2]

Supabase Realtime is great for building collaborative applications. You can receive database changes over websockets, store and synchronize data about user presence, and broadcast any data to clients via "channels".
