#What is ProseKit?

ProseKit is a modern, headless rich text editing framework that gives developers total freedom to build beautiful, performant, and feature-rich editors without design constraints. Unlike traditional WYSIWYG tools that force rigid UIs, ProseKit provides a modular, unstyled core built atop the battle-tested ProseMirror engine—trusted by giants like Atlassian and The New York Times. You get pre-built, Tailwind-powered components you can copy, tweak, and drop into any project, plus framework-specific adapters for React, Vue, Preact, Svelte, and Solid. Whether you're adding a comment system, building a CMS, or enabling collaborative docs, ProseKit scales from simple inputs to full-featured editors with real-time sync via Yjs or Loro. It’s the perfect blend of power, flexibility, and ease—ideal for indie devs, startups, and enterprise teams.

#Features ⚡️

• Headless Architecture: Zero UI assumptions—style everything with Tailwind, CSS modules, or your design system.

• Copy-Paste Components: Ready-to-use, fully customizable Tailwind blocks for toolbars, menus, bubbles, and more.

• Multi-Framework Support: One core, native adapters for React, Vue, Preact, Svelte, and Solid—no lock-in.

• Extensible API: Intuitive plugin system to add mentions, tables, embeds, or custom nodes with minimal code.

• Real-Time Collaboration: Out-of-the-box integration with Yjs and Loro for live multi-user editing.

• ProseMirror-Powered: Inherits decades of editor engineering—robust selection, undo/redo, schema safety.

#Pros ✅

• Unmatched Flexibility: Total control over look, feel, and behavior—perfect for design systems.

• Framework Agnostic: Use with React, Vue, or any modern stack without rewriting logic.

• Production-Proven Core: Built on ProseMirror—stable, secure, and used in mission-critical apps.

• Fast Start with Components: Tailwind templates mean you’re editing in minutes, not days.

• Collaboration Ready: Plug in Yjs/Loro for Notion-style real-time editing.

#Cons ⚠️

• Learning Curve: ProseMirror concepts (nodes, marks, schema) require initial study.

• No Default UI: Headless means you must build the interface—great for control, not for speed.

• Framework Adapters Vary: React support is strongest; others may lag in examples.

• No Built-in Cloud Sync: Yjs/Loro handle transport, but you manage backend (e.g., WebSocket).

• Smaller Ecosystem: Fewer plugins than Tiptap, but growing fast.

#Included Components - Templates

ProseKit ships with copy-paste-ready, TailwindCSS-powered UI components to accelerate development:

• Toolbar: Bold, italic, headings, lists, links, code—fully themeable.

• Bubble Menu: Context-aware formatting on text selection.

• Slash Commands: Trigger actions (e.g., /image, /table) with autocomplete.

• Mention & Hashtag Suggestions: Dropdowns for @users and #tags.

• Floating Embeds: YouTube, Twitter, or custom media with live previews.

• Table UI: Insert, resize, and style tables with drag handles.

All components are unstyled by default—apply your Tailwind classes or replace entirely.
