I wish more of these systems allowed arbitrary indentation as a feature instead of just providing list items. I've gotten used to this in OneNote, and of course in plain text and Python. I don't want an outliner necessarily, but want to be able to indent a group of paragraphs and images with further indented sub-points, then outdent to move on to the next point.
Of course a lot of these systems don't support it because MarkDown doesn't support it. An indented block is a code block and that's it.
I started putting together a Tiptap editor project, which itself is based on ProseMirror, but got overloaded. I also tried building something with CKEditor but also ran into too much personal friction trying to get a simple project working. I have to learn Node and JS at the same time and it's a lot.

But we are so used to paragraph based text due to its history and it feels more familiar. I like how in Notion you can indent and deindent normal paragraphs but that still doesn’t feel totally fluid, I’m not sure what it is. Maybe different modes or views for each is closer to the ideal?
