## What it is
Dante (dante3) is a React-based block-style WYSIWYG rich text editor built on TipTap and ProseMirror, inspired by Medium's editor. It provides configurable blocks for images, embeds, audio/video recording, dictation, and GIFs, plus JSON/HTML serialization and renderer helpers.

## Use cases
- embed a Medium-style wysiwyg editor in a React app
- rich text editing with image and embed blocks
- save editor content as JSON or HTML
- build a publishing or blogging platform with block editing
- add audio/video recording and dictation to a text editor
- render rich text content outside the editor with a matching renderer

## When to choose
- you need a Medium-like block editor in React
- you want TipTap/ProseMirror power with prebuilt media blocks
- you need JSON and HTML content workflows with renderer parity

## When to avoid
- you need a non-React framework like Vue or Svelte
- you want a plain textarea or markdown-only editor
- you need a fully maintained license — the repo currently lacks a license file despite docs claiming MIT
