I also liked it a lot, though I used it in React and had a bit of trouble with getting it to play nicely with useEffect.

I see that as an issue with React though, not TipTap. It’s a great editor and I love that it’s headless.

My memory is hazy since it's been a while, but I implemented collaborative editing in TipTap using YJS. This requires coordinating editor state with a socket interface and I had to use a bunch of useEffect trickery to make sure the state didn't get out of sync. I'm afraid I can't elaborate further, but I will say that I'd highly recommend TipTap if you want to build collaborative editing. Once I got it working, it worked perfectly.
