Does anyone know if there is a JS editor that acts similar to how notion works? I've seen a similar pattern with readme.io, and would love to be able to use it

Does anyone know if there is a JS editor that acts similar to how notion works? I've seen a similar pattern with readme.io, and would love to be able to use it for internal tools.

The closest is ckeditor, I think. But that's still a long shot away. Notion is actually really well constructed (as somebody who's been in the space building tools kinda like it for a while, it's quite impressive). But I agree, the space needs an open source notion...

    Yes, but it's currently just a rich text editor, it lacks the outlining capabilities (i.e. creating separate hierarchical pages, and tagging). These should be relatively easy to add, though.

Hey! ReadMe.io founder here. We custom built ours, because we couldn't find anything else on the market that worked the way we wanted. The closest I've found otherwise is ContendBuilder.js: http://www.innovastudio.com/content-builder.aspx http://www.innovastudio.com/content-builder.aspx SirTrevor is similar, but without drag+drop: http://madebymany.github.io/sir-trevor-js/example.html http://madebymany.github.io/sir-trevor-js/example.html For us, it was built using two linked jQuery Sortable lists (the sidebar, and the actual content). It's easier than it sounds, especially with Angular :)

For "WYSIWYG" content editing, ProseMirror looks like the best implementation so far [1]. Pure JS editor without the buggy contenteditable stuff. I'm sure that it can be extended to support other "rich" objects such as todo lists. [1] http://prosemirror.net/index.html http://prosemirror.net/index.html

Substance http://substance.io/ http://substance.io/ is well worth taking a look at.
