As a huge asterisk this is a Tauri wrapper around Tiptap that does filesystem management. You can use Tiptap yourself easily as it's open source:

https://tiptap.dev/

https://github.com/ueberdosis/tiptap

Tiptap is immensely popular, supports both Vue and React, is super lightweight and has a huge community of extensions. I've been using this since 2019 and can't recommend it enough. A number of comments here are asking for functionality that is built in, easily available as an extension, or easily add-able!

Isn't Tiptap a wrapper around ProseMirror that does SaaS pricing?

Why is it a "huge asterisk"?

I'm also working on a WYSIWYG editor and using TipTap. It's great, but on its own, it's not a ready editor, but a great framework.

There's a lot you can do with TipTap (and ProseMirror) to make your editor stand out and fit your use case better than others.

Why do you need a huge asterisk about the editor control library this app is using? Many text editors follow this pattern:

    Notepad++ : Scintilla
    Notepad.exe : Win32 EDIT control
    TextEdit.app : NSTextView
It’s not like you can download and run Tiptap as an application, right?
