I really appreciate your efforts. There are many text editor but most of them lack some features critical for detail writing.

Full featured image, video, embed, math, table, symboll support will put BlockNote in a good position.

Thanks! Agree those components are important. Some of them are already available for the Prosemirror ecosystem, so it should be straightforward to add them.

Focus so far for BlockNote has been to get the “block” system right (including nesting, drag and drop, etc) and the basic UX elements (placeholders, menus, etc). Now I think we can continue working on more block types!

I don't think I could ever use a Notion-like product without their database/table feature. I'm addicted to it now. And toggles too. I feel like toggles are a way for detail oriented people to detail everything they feel they should, but at the same time deliver a document that anyone can read haha

Toggles are on the roadmap to add! They are definitely a basic kind of block that should be built-in.

Databases/tables are a whole different ball game of course. I’d like to focus on building an open source, reusable text/block editor on par with Notion’s editor, not to build a clone of their entire product :)
