- When we started building an Open Source Notion alternative, we
- figured: "How hard can it be?". Pretty hard, it turns out.
- Text editors in 2024? More complex than we thought.
-
-
-
- After going down many rabbit holes and becoming accidental wizards
- in Prosemirror (the industry standard used by giants like NY Times,
- Atlassian, Gitlab and many others), we figured that we could save
- other devs a lot of pain by creating a modern, batteries-included,
- block-based text editor on top of it.

-
- We're excited to share BlockNote with you. No more dealing with
- low-level positions; use the strongly typed, block-based API to work
- with your editor and documents. No need to build all interface
- elements from scratch; it comes with modern UI components
- out-of-the-box. Now, you can add a rich text editor with a polished
- UX to your app with just a few lines of code.
-
-
-
- It's early days, but the excitement is real. We're seeing
- a mix of companies, enthusiasts, and community heroes jumping in. As
- a community-led open source project, we're looking forward to
- your contributions, feedback, or collaboration!
