BlockSuite

BlockSuite is the open-source collaborative editor project behind AFFiNE.

📝 Block-Based Editing

BlockSuite breaks down rich content into discrete contenteditable blocks, avoiding pitfalls using traditional monolithic rich text container.

🧬 Intrinsically Collaborative

By harnessing the power of CRDT, any application built with BlockSuite effortlessly supports real-time collaboration right from the start.

🧩 Framework Agnostic

With UI components implemented using Web Components, BlockSuite provides editors that can be easily embedded and eliminates the risk of vendor lock-in.

🎯 Incremental State Sync

The state updates in BlockSuite can be incrementally encoded as standardized binaries, enabling efficient data synchronization over various network protocols.

📏 Compact Rich Text

BlockSuite builds its own rich text component. With minimal responsibilities that benefits from the block-based architecture, this component is light, simple and reliable.

🎨 Hybrid Infinite Canvas

A high performance canvas-based renderer is also provided by BlockSuite, fulfilling needs for whiteboard functionalities.
