I'm working on making our editor more user friendly.
It seems many people have a hard time with markdown. At the same time, I love the simplicity of markdown. Trying to find a solution that gives us both.
The current link to the full markdown guide is bit cumbersome. I bet tiny inline sheet that expands with top 5 or so markdown features would probably solve 90% of difficulty.
My guess would be (from my own use):
  • inline image (i always forget [] vs ())
  • link to URLs
  • basic styles (bold, italic, code)
  • others...
I wonder about a small sat-tax on things like emojis are large headers etc that can be excessively attention grabbing / noisy...

That'd be a solve for many users. The ideal option is probably a WYSIWYG with markdown support and the ability to upload images directly to SN (for a fee). Facebook just released a new FOSS editor I'm considering using: https://lexical.dev/
re: noise. I agree. Lots to figure out wrt to that. Thankful for sats to solve it though.

this so much

Yes, I also think so

lol everytime i think to do the opposite of my instinct to use [] vs () and I get it wrong 100% of the time!!!

Have you seen the site typedream? It's a web-builder that has lots of primitives and structures like notion. Been trying to find an open-source repo that makes building experiences like that a lot easier. Haven't dug in enough beyond quick searches (not found yet) though sure it exists. Will share if I discover it and have the time.
