Novel is a cool What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editor designed to resemble the Notion interface, incorporating advanced AI-powered autocompletion functionalities to aid in writing and content creation.
The tool is built on top of Tiptap — a headless, extensible framework that provides rich text editing capabilities — and Vercel AI SDK, which powers the AI autocomplete feature. To use Novel, users need to install it via npm and can then easily incorporate it into their projects as demonstrated.
Novel boasts several notable features aimed at enhancing the user experience and productivity. These include a slash menu and a bubble menu for easy access to formatting options and tools, AI autocomplete activated by typing ‘++’ or selecting from the slash menu to assist with content creation, and support for image uploads through drag and drop, copy and paste, or selection from the slash menu.
All these functionalities make Novel an attractive option for users looking for a powerful and efficient editing tool. It also encourages users to contribute to its growth by starring the project on GitHub, and for those interested in deploying their version – there is the option to do so on Vercel.
