Overview
Plate is a plugin-based rich-text editor framework for React, built on slate-react and published on npm as platejs. The README points to three starting templates: a Notion-like one with plugins, AI and a backend, a playground with plugins and AI, and a minimal one with Plate only. Documentation is at platejs.org.
