With BlockNote, you can enjoy a smooth and intuitive editing experience while taking full advantage of rich markdown support, customizable blocks, and flexible styling.
Perfect for creating knowledge bases, blog content management systems, collaborative document editors, or interactive note-taking features in your Bubble apps!
This seems to be related to the BlockNote plugin, so I’ve moved the conversation here.
I just tested it again on my end using another app, and I was able to retrieve the saved JSON content without any issues.
If you’re seeing (empty) for Init content (JSON) in the debugger, as shown in your screenshot, then it’s very likely that Bubble’s Privacy Rules are preventing the data from being accessed.
Could you check the privacy settings for the data type you’re using?
Also, if you do see the value in the debugger but it’s still not showing in the editor, please let me know — I’d be happy to look into it further!
It seems to be another thing. I will deep dive and get back to you.
Also, is it possible that it has native “dark mode”? Yesterday night the background was black and I couldn’t find an option to change that.
UPDATE:
Hi, I think I found a lead. I got it to work but only by using “do a search for” and setting the ID manually. Here’s a short video showcasing this. Thanks!
For the AI feature, is it correct that it’s triggered from the SideMenu or Toolbar, and works per block to summarize or continue the text?
Also, regarding the initial value issue, I found that properties.autobinding seems to reference the parent element’s data even when autobinding is not set, so I’ve adjusted the logic accordingly. Could you please check?
Would it be possible to write an add on for that editor so you can add and remove stuff like you can do in cursor?
Most ai stuff or editors who are changed based by the system need a function for acceptance or decline… ’
Anything in mind here (also it would be a standout feature cause there are a lot notion like editors out there)
Thank you for the great idea! As you said, having AI-assisted features like those in Cursor or Notion AI would definitely help the editor stand out.
BlockNote itself doesn’t have built-in AI functionality, so this kind of feature would need to be implemented separately. While it’s technically possible, it would take some time and effort to develop.
If you have any specific workflows or use cases in mind, I’d love to hear them—that would help us consider what kinds of features would be most useful!
For me a yes and no feature would be most important we could do it easyly through an highlight and accept and delete function where you just give the text an id and then it deletes the yes or no area based on selection.
The other one is to show dynamic focus group based on hover - but i think there is a workaround you can trigger with bubble if “text is marked” function is there.. like this with add to chat and edit:
The other one would be way more important cause it helps with ai add ins and would make it a standalone for new writing tools (plus easy to add i think)
Latest Update (ver 1.2.0)
We’re excited to introduce a brand-new Divider block, allowing you to visually separate content with customizable styles like border color, width, spacing, and more!
In addition, we’ve added new layout and styling controls to enhance editor flexibility:
Divider block with fully customizable styles
Adjustable heading font sizes (H1, H2, H3)
Configurable vertical padding between blocks
Fine-tuned side menu height per block type using sideMenuHeight
Please let us know when we can have highlighted text with accept and decline! That would be perfect - or something like streaming.. or at least an effect of streaming.
Thanks so much for your interest and thoughtful suggestions!
AI features like accept/decline and a streaming-like effect are definitely on my roadmap.
That said, I’m currently working on a Resource view for the Modern Calendar plugin, which was requested earlier by another user. So I’m planning to start the AI features sometime in May.
Once version 1 of the AI features is ready, I’ll be sure to share an update here.
It really means a lot to have such enthusiastic support — it’s super encouraging!
btw - would be nice if we can set the z index or an option this will be over floating groups
cause i have this issue with my left menu floating group…
(Underneath in my opinion makes sense most.)
Other option would be to show it underneath or right of the icon.
