This is work in progress, please give me some thought.

Intriguing! Are you planning to eventually open source your work?
I would love to do so.
Awesome. Please update us here when you do. I’m very curious to find out what libraries you’re building this on top of. I always thought Prosemirror would be a good foundation for WYSIWYG in Discourse, since it is also using @vitaly’s excellent markdown-it library.
Also, are you doing this as a personal project (i.e. for the fun and challenge of it, and scratching an itch) or is this work being sponsored in some way? I ask because within the Meta community there’s huge interest in rich editing, so there are a couple different avenues we could explore to support this work.
This is kind of personal project, I am in the middle of converting my own forum into discourse, but Markdown would be big obstacle for my users, that’s why I have been doing this (on spare time).
This editor intents to be compatible with Discourse, I am challenging with quotes and Markdown, so far so good. 
Hi folks, should we allow editing text inside quote? it is currently allowed to do so.
I do this regularly. Sometimes to fix a typo, sometimes to add emphasis. Sometimes to add ellipses when removing parts of the quote for brevity.
So, it’s nice to have. But I don’t think it’s must have if you’re looking for ways to cut scope and get an initial release out sooner.
Alright, have that done. I am making way to insert text before and after quote blocks.
If you want more feedback, we can set you up with a public demo instance on Digital Ocean. There’s going to be a whole bunch of people around here eager to try it out. You can send me a PM about it.
This is what would happen when quoting more while the cursor (of the editor) is inside another quote.
Things done recently:
any updates to this?
I know there have been discussions, I still think a WYSIWYG editor would make it easier for the nontechies.
Did you run out of steam? Or why are there no updates lately? I checked the video and it looked pretty good.
I am afraid that here there is an enormous chasm between “pretty good” and “good enough”. There are lots and lots of edge cases that make this such a hard problem, our editor is super rich.
Overall, we find that many non-tech communities get used to the current editor and almost never complain about it.
Hola,
Apoyo la implementación de un editor WYSIWYG para futuras versiones de Discourse Forum.
Esto facilitaría mucho la edición y permitiría un mejor aprovechamiento del tamaño de la pantalla.
¿Hay alguna novedad sobre lo que ocurrió aquí? El video demuestra una función excelente y funcional. El repositorio está aquí: GitHub - quangbuule/Discourse-BEditor: Replacing Discourse Editor (d-editor) to Better Editor with WYSIWYG feature. · GitHub
También activaría con gusto el modo WYSIWYG tanto para nuestra comunidad no técnica como para la de gestión de proyectos. Al activarlo en esta última, podríamos incorporar al equipo del cliente y permitirles participar en las discusiones allí.
Estoy trabajando actualmente en un plugin para un editor WYSIWYG. Por favor, lee los detalles en este hilo:
También puedes escribir publicaciones de prueba en
aunque este enlace podría cambiar o dejar de funcionar más adelante (es mi instancia de desarrollo personal hasta que se lance mi sitio web).
Ya funciona bastante bien, pero ciertas adiciones de Discourse a Markdown solo son visibles en la vista previa hasta que cambio a publicaciones en HTML puro. Pero creo que está bien para los principiantes, ya que de todos modos no usarán estas funciones.
Discourse ahora está lanzando un editor WYSIWYG experimental ![]()
