We're working on WYSIWYG but it's not an easy problem. Eventually we want editing to feel comfortable to everyone! :)

- jtbayly 6y agoThat's good news for me, but apparently a lot of people don't feel the need for it. I'm still confused why. In general, are people switching modes or doing side-by-side or what?
- warranty 6y agoI like side by side. Especially when I am linking pictures and or creating blocks and linking pdf .. I can write in left pane without those pictures blocks and pdfs taking space in left pane and shows up on right pane.
- ericax 6y agoI think most people are used to seeing the source and can basically "imagine" what it looks like. So they really only switch for double checking before sending something out I would say. Many people in our community said things about "staying in the editor" so I guess that's a common workflow.
- jtbayly 6y agoI think I could get used to that in notes where I don't embed images.
- slightwinder 6y agoWritting and browsing are often different mental modes. You are not always working with your notes, but mostly reading them. Thus have a plain edit-mode used 10% the time, and a rich viewing-mode for the remaining 90% of the usage-time is good enough for many people.
- Aeolun 6y agoFor me, I just don’t look at the preview at all. Markdown is simple enough that I know how it will be rendered. To be fair, I do enjoy the Typora model where my images get automatically included in the edit mode, but I don’t specifically need it.
- nl 6y agoI honestly don't think people have ever used good WYSIWYG editors.
