Hey DEV community,
If you've been following my progress on NextBlock, you probably noticed I went completely dark for about a month. No posts, no updates. That's because I was deep in the trenches on a single, massive feature: implementing a ground-up, Notion-like editor using the incredible Tiptap 3 library.
And it is almost perfect.
The mission was to create an editing experience so fluid and powerful that it would make developers and bloggers feel like they finally have the tool they've always needed. No more fighting with clunky plugins, weird formatting, or limited functionality. Just pure, creative control.
This isn't just about adding a "nice" editor. This is the core of a larger vision. I believe the reason WordPress has dominated for so long is its ecosystem, but its core experience has become bloated and outdated. The opportunity is ripe for a replacement.
I'm building NextBlock to be that replacement. A CMS with the power and flexibility to replace them all. I truly think this is the "WordPress killer" people have been talking about for years, and it all starts with getting the content creation experience absolutely right.
Building with Tiptap 3 has been a fantastic journey, and I can't wait to show you all what it can do. The level of customization is phenomenal, and it's the perfect foundation for the most flexible CMS ever built.
More to come very, very soon!
