The team from Tiptap, an open-source developer toolkit for building collaborative editing apps, introduces their editor framework and real-time collaboration backend. The tools aim to simplify the process of building editor interfaces like Notion or Google Docs, reducing the development time from months or years to days or weeks.

This includes a cloud infrastructure for real-time collaboration and an AI integration beta that allows users to connect their OpenAI API key for an AI writing experience. The team invites developers to explore Tiptap's capabilities, contribute to its open-source development, and join their community.
