@pvh.ca discussing "AI is a versioning / collaboration problem" at #localfirstconf definitely resonates with the approach we took^^. Next step is to retain attribution of accepted suggestions (i.e.: Edited by Alice with AI) in version history. Looking fwd to the talk tomorrow!

Really excited about this - definitely more complex than expected (especially when dealing with advanced formatting) and spent a lot of time fine-tuning the UX. Check out the docs @ www.blocknotejs.org/docs/ai

Excited to share the first version of BlockNote AI! Connect any model, customize prompts, and interact with AI just like you would with a human teammate. The user stays in control — accepting, rejecting, or refining suggestions.

After 4 years of work, I'm incredibly excited to introduce LiveStore, the next-gen data layer I'm building for Overtone.

It's based on reactive SQLite and has a built-in sync engine. Give it a try - would love your feedback!

It should be easy to add Notion-like collaborative text editing.

This is why we've just released first-party support for BlockNote, enabling:

• Fully-hosted collaborative block-based editing
• Real-time comments and notifications
• Offline support, multiple editors, and more

Awesome collab (😜) with @liveblocks.io. Make your www.blocknotejs.org editor collaborative with just a few lines of code!

Liveblocks @liveblocks.io · Apr 3

Introducing… Liveblocks BlockNote.

Get started with block-based collaborative editing in minutes. Our new first-party plugin for BlockNote has built-in commenting, notifications, mentions, and offline support. We've also built a Notion-style demo in our starter kit.

"Dutch parliament calls for end to dependence on US software companies": www.reuters.com/world/europe.... It's been an honor to work with 🇩🇪 and 🇫🇷 on this, but even better to see digital autonomy taken seriously in my home country.

Dutch parliament calls for end to reliance on US software

The Netherlands' parliament on Tuesday approved a series of motions calling on the government to reduce dependence on U.S. software companies, including by creating a cloud services platform that is under Dutch control.

This is absurdly great, but I haven't read a single news article about it. A fully open source, offline-first alternative to Notion that's a collab between the French and German governments because they want to host docs securely and on their own terms. THIS is what Europe should be doing.

Thanks for sharing Ben! Cool to know; the Docs team has been sponsoring downstream open source technologies. An important part of Docs is the www.blocknotejs.org editor I'm working on - and it's been great and fulfilling to work together with the 🇫🇷 and 🇩🇪 teams on this.

Excited to announce that I'm leaving Tiptap, I will be joining BlockNote at the beginning of the month.

It's been less than a year, but I'm in a good place to take some risk and try starting up a company.

Given that I'm leaving, I thought it'd fun to share the things I built while at Tiptap. So 🧵
