Measured entry

kibo-editor

text-effectminimal-flat

A client-side React rich-text editor shipped as a shadcn registry source module. It wraps Tiptap with slash commands, floating and bubble menus, syntax-highlighted code blocks, tables, formatting controls, and character counts. It depends on Tiptap extensions plus Floating UI, Fuse, Lowlight, Tippy, Lucide, Tailwind utilities, and shadcn UI primitives.

BARE BUILD

Verdict

A capable, feature-dense Tiptap composition for teams already committed to the shadcn ecosystem. It builds and mounts in that environment, but the bare test fails, so it needs a shadcn-style setup. Fix the editor label and narrow-screen overflow before production use.

Use it if

  • You need an extensible Tiptap editor with formatting, lists, quotes, code blocks, tables, and slash commands already composed.
  • Your app already uses shadcn conventions, Tailwind theme tokens, and the matching UI primitives.
  • A desktop-oriented authoring surface is acceptable and you can tune its narrow-screen layout.
  • You are prepared to audit and label the editable field before release.

Skip it if

  • You only need a plain textarea or a small Markdown input and do not want the broad editor dependency set.
  • Your product must work on narrow screens without layout changes, since the verified demo overflows there.
  • You need an accessible editor ready to ship unchanged, because the editable field lacks an accessible name.
  • Your project does not use shadcn-style primitives or Tailwind conventions and you want a drop-in package.

Providerno provider required in the harness

In a non-shadcn project, add the declared Tiptap extensions and supporting Floating UI, Fuse, Lowlight, Tippy, and Lucide packages. Provide compatible button, command, dropdown menu, popover, separator, and tooltip components, plus the cn helper, Tailwind theme tokens, and class-variance-authority used by the button primitive. Adapt the registry import aliases to your project.
