Novel is an open-source, headless Notion-style WYSIWYG rich text editor built on Tiptap and ProseMirror, with AI-powered autocompletion via the OpenAI API. It ships as an npm package for React (with community packages for Svelte and Vue) plus a demo Next.js app and a VSCode extension.

Use cases

• add a Notion-style WYSIWYG editor to a React app
• rich text editor with AI autocompletion
• headless editor with slash commands
• build a Notion clone editor
• embed an AI writing assistant in a web app
• markdown-friendly editor for Next.js

When to choose

• you want a Notion-like editing experience in React with slash commands and AI completions
• you need a headless Tiptap-based editor you can style and extend
• you're on Next.js/Vercel and want a one-click deployable editor demo

When to avoid

• you need a non-React framework without relying on community-maintained packages
• you want a fully batteries-included editor with no OpenAI API key or backend setup
• you need a plain lightweight text editor without AI features
