Everyone loves text formatting, but not everyone loves Markdown.

We've got you covered.

I'm merging a branch that includes a WYSIWYG editor, which will translate the output directly into Markdown.
No more tags to remember when writing your next post (or blog post), just a convenient, predictable editor.

What do you think?

@stefano I said most of this in our DM but wanted to share some enthusiasm publicly ๐Ÿ’›

Something to consider: as the options for posts grow (which is truly wonderful) I wonder if it makes sense for all the formatting and post meta options to be revealed after the user clicks on the text box. It is taking up a lot or visual space and might look intimidating to first time users when they see that at the top of their home feed before seeing any posts.


woahhhh!! Visual editor would be clutch for non technical people. On mobile and already loving the [ ] full screen editor.

I love that you can toggle back and forth from Markdown and PREVIEW is the real killer feature. I'm buzzing with excitement (only some of that is the coffee I just has ๐Ÿ˜‚)!
