TipTap

TipTap is not about tipping support agents—that description got scrambled somewhere. TipTap is a headless, open-source editor framework that's become the standard for building rich text editors in JavaScript. 33,000 GitHub stars don't lie. They're doing 12.8 million NPM downloads per month, they've got 6,000 active members in their Discord, and companies use this thing to build everything from Notion clones to AI-powered document workflow tools.

The magic of TipTap is that it's headless—which means you're not stuck with some bloated toolbar interface. You get complete control over the UX. Integrate over 100 extensions, add collaboration features with live cursors so everyone sees who's typing, plug in AI agents that can edit documents in real-time, handle DOCX and Markdown imports with one click. Want a chatbot that proofreads as you type? Done. Need track-changes for legal docs? Built in.

The open source version is free and legendary among developers. The paid platform adds collaboration, AI toolkit, and enterprise features. This is the infrastructure layer underneath half the document experiences you'll encounter in the next few years—when every app needs an embedded editor that's smart, collaborative, and extensible, TipTap is already there.

Based in Europe (they've got contributors everywhere but the core team runs out of Germany/Austria area), hiring for developer advocacy and backend engineers if you want to help shape how the world edits text.
