Thank you, thank you, thank you. I use started using bookstack when I realized that I wanted a place for long form / long term storage of documents separates from my Notes / To dos. I love it and I deeply appreciate your hard work. For others that haven't tried it, here's what clicked for me: - An opinionated hierarchy of Book -> Chapter (Optional) -> Page - Great search - WYSIWYG OR Markdown supported - Great integration into Diagrams.net I love it. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you! I love to hear about the specific features people enjoy. > WYSIWYG OR Markdown I will state that switching between them is pretty flaky at the moment, is done at instance level and can cause HTML in markdown. Is designed to be choose-once-and-leave. That said, in rebuilding the editor I am aiming for easy and instant Markdown & WYSIWYG switching within editor.

  outline has a nice rich-markdown-text-editor package for react based apps in case you can re-use it! I looked into the LaTeX support of it for a science editor projectg

  Have you looked at Toast UI Editor (MIT license)? https://ui.toast.com/tui-editor https://ui.toast.com/tui-editor I checked out a bunch of text editors on a past project and this one has worked very well as a WYSIWYG markdown editor.

    Yeah, Got a list of potential options under review for our required criteria: https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/2738 https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/2738

  Obsidian integration would make me (and likelya bunch of its > 400k other users) happy!

    Uhm that, integration with obsidian, kinda off topic as this is a standalone kB software and not an editor right?

      Definitely not off topic. I do not use Obsidian but while Obsidian is a knowledge base software, I can absoslutely see the appeal of being able to organize your thoughts and notes into a full-fledged article and then push to something like Bookstack for public/team consumption.

  Just on a practical level, you might as well just disable the option to convert, especially if you're going to swap it out anyway. Sometimes just flipping the switch on a task opens up a little cognitive space for the rest of your work. :)
