In-Depth Guide

Building a Notion Clone: Notes and Wiki Platform

Notion's success comes from combining hierarchical pages with flexible content blocks. A Notion clone needs a rich text editor (using Tiptap or Lexical), nested page structure with sidebar navigation, block-based content (text, headings, images, lists, code, tables), and real-time collaborative editing. Fabricate generates note-taking applications with these core capabilities, plus database views, templates, and search across all content.

Rich Text Editor: Tiptap-based block editor with slash commands, markdown shortcuts, drag-and-drop block reordering, and inline formatting.

Page Hierarchy: Nested page structure with sidebar tree navigation, breadcrumbs, page linking, and backlink display.

Collaboration: Real-time collaborative editing, page sharing with permission levels, comments and mentions, and version history.
