Tiptap v3 update in the roadmap? How do I ssr editor content

[AKRking]

1.Tiptap v3 update in the roadmap?
2.How do i SSR, i saw an extension "@tiptap/static-renderer". It says it can be used for serverside rendering but gives me error in tiptap/core after installing it, is this not compatible with the current novel version?

Hi! To answer both parts of your question:

1. Tiptap v3 Roadmap

Novel currently ships with Tiptap v2. There isn't an official public roadmap pinned for v3 migration, but since Tiptap v3 is still in active development (currently in beta/RC phases), most editor libraries (including Novel) are waiting for a stable release before migrating.

You can track Tiptap v3 progress here: https://tiptap.dev/docs/editor/getting-started/upgrade-tiptap

2. SSR with Novel / Tiptap content

Tiptap (and by extension Novel) is a client-side rich-text editor because it depends on the DOM and ProseMirror. For SSR/SSG, you have two solid options:

Option A: Dynamic import with ssr: false

import dynamic from 'next/dynamic';

const Editor = dynamic(() => import('./editor'), { ssr: false });

Option B: Render static HTML on the server

If you need to render the content server-side (e.g., for SEO or static pages), use @tiptap/html to generate HTML from JSON on the server:

import { generateHTML } from '@tiptap/html';
import { extensions } from 'novel/extensions';

const html = generateHTML(jsonContent, extensions);

This gives you fully rendered HTML for SSR without mounting the editor on the server.

Recommendation: Use Option A for the editor UI and Option B for rendering static content in listings/blog posts. That's the pattern most production apps use. 💡
