Sample Post: everything a post can do

This is a post about a post. Everything on this page was made in the Tovu post editor — no HTML.

Here it is in the editor, built on TipTap:

Text

Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, highlight, inline code, and links. Also H2O and x2.

Change the color, the font, or the size of any run of text.

Headings

Three levels, H1 to H3. The headings on this page are H2s; here's an H3:

A smaller heading

Alignment

Left-aligned, the default for reading.

Centered, for a short line that should stand out.

Right-aligned, for a sign-off or a date.

Justified text stretches every full line to both edges, so a longer paragraph like this one forms a clean block on the left and on the right, the way a printed column does.

Quotes

Write it once. Every theme restyles it for free.

Code

Code blocks keep every space and line break, and are tagged with their language:

def reading_time(text: str, words_per_minute: int = 230) -> str:
    """Estimate how long a post takes to read."""
    words = len(text.split())
    minutes = max(1, round(words / words_per_minute))
    return f"{minutes} min read"


print(reading_time("Posts are your dated, ongoing writing. " * 120))  # 3 min read

Images

Pick any image from the Media library.

A glowing web of threads across a dark indigo sky, with points of light moving between the nodes.

Images come from Media, sized for the page automatically.

Or paste a link to any image on the web:

GIFs work the same way:

Animated GIF of the Earth rotating

Video

Videos come from Media too. This one shows the site being run entirely by chat.

Or embed straight from YouTube by pasting its link:

Widgets

Drop a widget in anywhere. This one shows a menu, and updates when the menu does:

Forms

Forms are widgets too. This one is live — submissions land in the admin under Forms.
