Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Open source components built on top of the Slate text framework for building rich text editors. Large library of primitives to build things like drag and drop, autoformatting, columns, tables, media, markdown etc. Support for Notion-like features such as blocks. Add comments, collaboration and AI writing assistance.

Tradeoffs

Don’t be intimidated by the large number of components - the docs are detailed and there are full templates.
