What are Tiptap experiments?

With a new series of more extensive Tiptap Experiments, we’re launching a channel to showcase what’s possible with Tiptap and inspire web developers to explore its full potential. We want to:

explore, test and build new things as a proof-of-concept
discover new features for Tiptap based on these experiments
explain how we built each experiment

First experiment: Advanced collaboration

Our first experiment demonstrates an editor that combines different collaboration methods to improve team productivity and communication.

Here are some of the features we’re exploring:

👆 Live cursors: With some UI gimmicks to make things lively.
💬 Cursor chat: Similar to what you might know from Figma.
📞 Call feature: Use WebRTC to talk with other users right inside the document.
🎉 Queued user actions: Like the confetti at the end of the video for a fun touch.
🛠️ Bonus: A simple drag-and-drop site builder in the editor.

We will be taking a closer look at this example in our upcoming experiments series of articles, and will be releasing a live demo later, as there is still work to be done to ensure it is robust and compatible with different browsers and devices.
