I use TipTap as a rich text editor in my open-source weekly journaling app.[0]

One of the big gotchas I've had with TipTap is that it's extremely sluggish once you get to more than 300 words or so and you're using different formatting options. There's a multi-second delay between typing the word and the text appearing in the screen.

The APIs are pretty nice, and I was able to convert to/from Markdown with it easier than other solutions I looked at, but the performance really reduces usability.

I've only used the FOSS version, so maybe TipTap Pro is better.

Are you sure that it's not something else interfering with TipTap? Their long demo https://tiptap.dev/examples/book which has 200,000 words was still very responsive.


That page just freezes the browser using Brave on Android.


Weird, works very responsively for me on Firefox Nightly on Android.


Yeah it's strange, it locks up the whole browser and makes it really hard to exit the tab.


That’s actually an issue with the syntax highlighting in brave. :-(


It's possible. I write with a lot of bullet points and formatting, so I might be hitting one of their edge cases.


Try disabling spellcheck, this has serious performance issues for content editable in recent chrome versions.

Oh, interesting. I'll try that. I feel like I've seen it on FF too, so I'm not sure if that's the problem.
