I have been following remirror since the start and also started working on bangle.dev at the same time.

bangle.dev aims to add little API overhead on top of Prosemirror (PM) whereas Remirror tries really hard to hide the PM API and attempts to provide its own React-ish abstraction. This might be a totally fine choice, but I went with the route of building reusable components instead of abstractions.

I'm glad to hear this! Using Remirror worries me because it injects an abstraction between our code and PM.

However, when I look at your docs, it's not clear it's a different in approach from Remirror. The imports are all from bangle.dev which makes it seem like the same approach.

I would love to see a doc explaining the "API overhead" and how to use PM directly. I want to feel confident I can easily drop back down to PM if Bangle doesn't have a feature I need or implements it in a way that won't work for our use case.

Really excited to see this approach! Shared PM plugins are a great idea!

How easy is integration between the two frameworks?
