hocuspocus

hem, and in the meantime we see projects that rely on Hocuspocus without using the Tiptap editor. We released Hocuspocus v4 under the MIT license a few weeks ago, and the biggest change is that it's no longer tied to Node. The previous versions depended on the ws package, which meant you couldn't run Hocuspocus on Bun, Deno, or Cloudflare Workers. We moved to crossws, a universal websocket adapter, so the same server now runs on Node, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers, and Node with uWebSockets. That also lets you run collaboration at the edge. The other changes are smaller but are important if you're using Hocuspocus in production: 1. Every core class and hook payload takes a generic Context type now, so the auth/session shape you build in onAuthenticate flows through every other hook with full type safety (defaults to any so existing code doesn't break). 2. Document updates are now processed sequentially per connection through an internal queue, which fixes a correctness bug where async hooks could cause CRDT updates to apply out of order under load. 3. Transaction origins are structured objects now with a source field instead of raw values and there's an isTransactionOrigin() helper for narrowing. 4. Hook payloads use web-standard Request and Headers instead of Node's IncomingMessage. 5. The wire protocol is backward compatible in both directions, so you can roll out servers and providers independently. If you want to test Hocuspocus: npm install @hocuspocus/server @hocuspocus/provider Docs at: https://tiptap.dev/docs/hocuspocus Source at: https://github.com/ueberdosis/hocuspocus Because running real-time collaboration on Workers or Durable Objects is new in v4, that's the use case we'd most like to hear your questions and feedback on.

ore time to set up and maintain. This doesn’t make sense for most frontend developers or most startups. We spent eight years as a digital agency developing applications with complex content editing functionality. We learned the hard way how limited the existing editors were. After building Tiptap as a headless editor framework with an extension-based architecture, we needed to allow multiple users to edit content simultaneously, which got complicated. There was no simple solution that could be integrated quickly. So we built that too. The Tiptap editor is based on the JS framework ProseMirror, which is a good foundation for editors. The learning curve for ProseMirror is steep because it's complicated to understand and lacks simple APIs and documentation. It takes a lot of code around ProseMirror to develop a modern user experience. We’ve taken care of that for you. Tiptap is headless, so it will work with whatever frontend or design you have in mind—we make no assumptions about your UI. You can use it to develop block-based editors like Notion, classic interfaces like Google Docs, or whatever you need. It's also framework agnostic, so you can use it with React, Vue, etc., or vanilla JavaScript. And it's highly customizable through our extension architecture. We also provide an API to access ProseMirror's internals through Tiptap if you want to dig deep into the core. Adding real-time collaboration to your editor is as easy as installing and configuring an extension. Our collaboration backend, called Hocuspocus, uses Yjs. This is a widely used implementation of CRDTs (conflict- free replicated data type). Hocuspocus makes it easy to set up a Node.js websocket server to handle communication between multiple peers to synchronize data. Like the Tiptap editor, Hocuspocus is designed to be extensible according to your needs. Also, Hocuspocus can work independently of Tiptap with other editors like Lexical or Slate. An earlier version of Tiptap got discussed a couple years ago at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26901975. We’ve been enjoying wider adoption since then. For example, Substack uses Tiptap for their editor that allows creators to write content on substack.com, and YC uses Tiptap in their Bookface forum (which is basically HN for YC alums). With the Tiptap Cloud, we offer managed backend services if you don't want to build and maintain every feature yourself. For real-time collaboration, we provide a cloud infrastructure with multiple datacenter regions where you can deploy Hocuspocus. The Tiptap AI integration beta is a service where you connect your OpenAI API key to our backend and install the Tiptap editor AI extension to get AI writing experience in your editor. Here’s a demo: https://ai-demo.tiptap.dev/ We invite you to explore Tiptap's capabilities in your app, contribute to its open source development, and (hopefully!) join our welcoming community. We'd love to hear what you've already built with Tiptap or what's stopping you from creating something with it :-) We look forward to all of your comments!

everything is in sync. No matter what content you've stored in your Tiptap editor. And guess what? You can use Tiptap Collab with every app! Since Tiptap Collab is based on Yjs, you can use it for every application, as long as you use Yjs. It’s done with a few lines of code in your app. Hocuspocus 2.0.0 Release After the stable release in January 2023, Hocuspocus gets its first major version update with the new core feature called “Multiplexing”. Multiplexing allows you to synchronize multiple documents over the same websocket connection. This is especially useful when working with multiple documents at the same time and will make this experience even faster: https://github.com/ueberdosis/hocuspocus/releases/tag/v2.0.0 We are excited to invest even more time and commitment into Tiptap and especially look forward to your contribution! Tiptap is a product baked by and for the community and will be even more this year.
