BlockNote is an open-source, block-based rich text editor library for React, built on ProseMirror and TipTap, offering a Notion-style editing experience with a polished out-of-the-box UI. It supports custom blocks, real-time collaboration via Yjs, and optional AI-assisted editing through dual-licensed XL packages.

Use cases

• add a Notion-style rich text editor to a React app
• build a block-based document editor with drag-and-drop blocks
• implement real-time collaborative text editing with Yjs
• create custom block types in a WYSIWYG editor
• add slash menus and formatting toolbars without building from scratch
• embed a polished text editor in a knowledge base or note-taking app

When to choose

• you want a modern block-based editor with minimal setup in React
• you need real-time collaboration and offline-first editing out of the box
• you want a type-safe, extensible editor API without learning ProseMirror internals
• you need a fully styled editor UI that works immediately

When to avoid

• you need a plain non-block rich text editor with full low-level control
• your project does not use React and you want batteries-included UI (headless/vanilla JS is more work)
• you need AI editing, multi-column layouts, or PDF/Docx export in a closed-source app without a commercial license
• you need a mature editor for a framework other than React
