Better MD editor #21

Open blaggacao opened 2 years ago

This project is awesome all around.

Muya is the best embeddable md editor out there.

2 * awesome = ? -> 😊 :+1:

You can try out the marktext app to check it's UX and look and feel. Muya is an outfactoring of the MD editor.

Interesting! Currently we have an Ace binding implemented which is boring but well trod.

I see it says - "Muya is still under development and should not be used for production" ... OpenMemex is guilty of overcharging our novelty budget as is :) but I'll check out marktext app and see how it feels.

If I had to guess, marktext might be already using muya. Or shortly might. So "not in production" might be a bit of an expectation management thing rather than being accurate : 😊

Cool - I think feasibility might come down to how easy it the API makes it to integrate a rust binding. Ace turned out to be relatively gentle even for a non-rust expert like myself (still pre-alpha, see https://github.com/austinvhuang/openmemex/blob/master/frontend/src/ace.rs and https://github.com/austinvhuang/openmemex/blob/master/frontend/static/ace_bindings.js for both sides of the FFI).

Would be happy to take a PR if you or anyone is interested in taking a stab too. Not sure if you're in the discord already but feel free to come chat more there https://discord.gg/mGy29Smv4g
