The editor behind Notion and Linear — now with real-time collaboration in your Bubble app

Hey everyone :waving_hand:

Quick update on the Tiptap Rich Text Editor plugin — the feature people keep asking about is finally a real, hosted thing:

Real-time collaboration. Multiple cursors. Zero infrastructure.

You know that thing where two users edit the same document and everything explodes? That doesn’t happen anymore. Your users get Google Docs-style editing — live cursors, live changes, no lag, no conflicts. Built on the same CRDT engine that powers Notion, GitLab, and Linear.

Here’s the deal: I’m now running a managed document server at tiptap.rico.wtf so you don’t have to figure out WebSockets, conflict resolution, or any of that infrastructure misery. Sign up, grab your credentials, paste them into the plugin settings, done.

How it works

  1. Sign up at tiptap.rico.wtf (free tier available)
  2. Create a project → get your Document Server ID and secrets
  3. Plug those into the Tiptap plugin’s collaboration settings in your Bubble editor
  4. Your users can now edit the same document simultaneously

That’s it. No backend workflows. No API Connector gymnastics. No “how do I set up a WebSocket server on AWS” rabbit holes.

What you get

  • Live collaboration — multiple cursors with names and colors, real-time syncing
  • Document persistence — auto-saved, synced back to your Bubble app via webhooks
  • A dashboard — see your documents, active connections, and usage at a glance
  • JWT authentication — built into the plugin, so only your users access your documents

About that demo…

Yes, the demo app technically leaks my own API key. So in theory, you could just use the collaboration server for free by copying it.

Of course, I’d also be able to read all your documents. So if you’re cool with me proofreading your users’ content at 2am, by all means. For everyone else, the free tier is right there.

Pricing

There’s a free tier to start with. Paid plans scale with your usage (more projects, more documents, more connections). Pricing details at tiptap.rico.wtf.

If you’re already using the Tiptap plugin and your users have been asking “can two people edit this at the same time?” — now you can say yes without lying.

Questions, bugs, feature requests — drop them here. I read everything (and apparently also your documents, if you use the demo key).
