SimpleMDE maintenance status

[jancborchardt]

We use SimpleMDE as our base. Unfortunately looking at the repository at https://github.com/sparksuite/simplemde-markdown-editor it does not seem so maintained anymore.

As requirements and issues come in, maybe it makes sense to look for an alternative sooner or later. Maybe someone even took over maintainership in a fork or will do so soon.

No rush, but just to keep that in mind @nextcloud/notes. I guess @stefan-niedermann you have a similar situation with the Android library?

Looks like Markdown isn't that hip anymore. :-(

Here is EasyMDE, a fork that has seen more maintenance. Mentioned in this thread on SimpleMDE. I have not tested it.

I recently came across https://github.com/nhnent/tui.editor which looks pretty nice and seems to be well maintained (at least for now) 😉 I guess we should at least collect some options and compare them. Also in terms of possible WYSIWYG options which have been requested quite often and for stuff like #200

From time to time... At the moment, the Android-lib is experiencing much attention by its maintainer. Of course this can change every day, but currently i would not describe our lib as "not maintained".

Moveing to something like previously suggested (https://github.com/nhnent/tui.editor) would be an HUGE improvement IMHO, or atleast something that resembles an wysiwyg editor

[jancborchardt]

@jkaberg it seems like you’re looking for the Markdown app which renders code on the left and rendered Markdown on the right.

We aim to merge the two as best as possible so you don’t need to have two separate views. Our first priority is notes. Then something we can look into for the future is stuff like iOS Notes and Google Keep does like lists, images etc.

@jancborchardt actully no, I'm looking for a notes app with an WYSIWYG editor (as I have a hard time rembering syntaxes 😆), AFAIK neither the notes nor the markdown app has this

I've used https://stackedit.io/ in the past, and would love something like that with Nextcloud (I don't need the split pane thing in the markdown app)

The TUI Editor looks interesting to me. Maybe, the appearance can be configured, so that we can disable distracting elements?
