    Collection of higher level rich text editing tools. It powers the local only note taking app https://bangle.io

  • > Tangentially, a cool thing would be to unite ProseMirror with Automerge. That’d enable some killer collaborative editors.

    Prosemirror already has collaboration baked into it and I have a very rough initial version of it working (see https://github.com/bangle-io/bangle.dev/tree/master/collab). My question for you is what benefit will using Automerge provide over the inbuilt collaboration API?

  • zod

    TypeScript-first schema validation with static type inference

  • What is this providing over ProseMirror on which it's built? Like, why would I choose this library instead of just using ProseMirror directly? Adding such a page to the docs might be helpful. Here's a great example of what such a comparison might look like: https://github.com/colinhacks/zod#comparison

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • trix

    A rich text editor for everyday writing

  • How would this compare to say a pre-made solution like Trix (https://github.com/basecamp/trix) from Basecamp?
