Real-time collaborative editing with editor.js #1874

You'd still need to write quite a bit of logic to make these two communicate, no?

i need it too!

I tried to get real-time collaboration with Firebase Real-time Database but editor.js lacks fundamental APIs to get this to work nicely.

In particular, without a mechanism to render only some blocks rather than all, a mechanism to pass metadata to blocks or to make individual blocks read-only, it is very hard.

editorJS didn't think of this from the beginning of design. Multi person real-time collaboration is not only a problem of local rendering, such as how to undo multi person real-time collaboration?

How to compare the differences between the two versions. It is difficult to develop these functions using editorjs. I gave up

How to recover from one version to another is very difficult

As for what you said about locking a block for editing, I think the user experience is very bad

At the beginning of my project, I used editor to develop it. Later, I didn't support collaboration well enough. Later, I used prosemirror to reconstruct the project. I found that prosemirror did a good job in this aspect. Editor has been abandoned by me.

You can also try tiptap, based on prosemirror：

I think if real-time collaboration is an important feature of your product, then editorjs is not a better choice, because the design didn't take this into account at the beginning.

This issue may be related to... #1606

Tiptap seems interesting, thanks for the hint @milu2003. Although, I have to say, that I would prefer a block-based editor to build something closer to Notion/Confluence. And editor.js looks good out of the box.

@hata6502 indeed that would help

Block building is not difficult. My current product is also in the form of block, similar to notion, but it's very easy for me to build with prosemirror, just a little more work. But the high degree of customization of prosemirror made it easier for me to build programs. What you said out of the box is both good and bad. Although it's easy to use, once you want more complex functions, I think your program will be greatly limited.

Have you guys looked at this issue? #1155 Looks promising!

Any progress update for this feature?

Yes, we've designed and started implementing it. Here is the first part.
