block_editor

A Notion-inspired, block-based rich text editor built entirely from scratch in Flutter and Dart. No dependency on AppFlowy, flutter_quill, super_editor, or any existing editor package. Everything is custom-built for maximum flexibility.

Status: Active development — pre-release. API is unstable until v1.0.0.
