# tiptap 2.x Preview > Don’t use this in production. It’s full of bugs and the API will likely change. A renderless and extendable rich-text editor for [Vue.js](https://github.com/vuejs/vue) [![Build Status](https://github.com/ueberdosis/tiptap-next/workflows/build/badge.svg)](https://github.com/ueberdosis/tiptap-next/actions) [![Sponsor](https://img.shields.io/static/v1?label=Sponsor&message=%E2%9D%A4&logo=GitHub)](https://github.com/sponsors/ueberdosis) ## Roadmap - [x] Proof of concept - [ ] Building out the editor - [x] Adding a bunch of extensions - [ ] Creating a few examples - [ ] Giving sponsors access to gather feedback - [ ] Incorporate feedback - [ ] Publicly release version 2.0-beta - [ ] Squash bugs, build more extensions - [ ] Release version 2.0 ## Why we built tiptap We were looking for a text editor for [Vue.js](https://github.com/vuejs/vue) and found some solutions that didn’t really satisfy me. The editor should be easy to extend and not based on old dependencies such as jQuery. For React there is already a great editor called [Slate.js](https://github.com/ianstormtaylor/slate), which impresses with its modularity. I came across [ProseMirror](https://github.com/prosemirror) and decided to build on it. ProseMirror is a toolkit for building rich-text editors that are already in use at many well-known companies such as *Atlassian* or *New York Times*. ### What does `renderless` mean? With renderless components you'll have (almost) full control over markup and styling. We don’t want to tell you what a menu should look like or where it should be rendered in the DOM. That’s all up to you. There is also a [great article about renderless components](https://adamwathan.me/renderless-components-in-vuejs/) by Adam Wathan. ### How is the data stored under the hood? You can save your data as a raw `HTML` string or can get a `JSON`-serializable representation of your document. And of course, you can pass these two types back to the editor. ## 💖 Sponsor the development Are you using tiptap in production? We need your sponsorship to maintain, update and develop tiptap.
