I love how it works on Medium and I think it would be also good for forums like Discourse. I love markdown (I’m a programmer), but my users find it confusing.

How is your current status here? Do you plan on implementing it, or are you happy with the [rewritten markdown editor](https://meta.discourse.org/t/help-us-test-the-rewritten-composer/34679)?

Possibly useful open source projects:
