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.
你好,
我支持在未来的 Discourse 论坛版本中引入所见即所得(WYSIWYG)编辑器。
这将使编辑变得更加便捷,并能更有效地利用屏幕空间。
这里发生了什么,有什么消息吗?该视频展示了一个运行良好、出色的功能。仓库地址:GitHub - quangbuule/Discourse-BEditor: Replacing Discourse Editor (d-editor) to Better Editor with WYSIWYG feature. · GitHub
我也很乐意为我们的非技术社区和项目管理社区同时开启所见即所得(WYSIWYG)模式。在后者中开启该功能,将使我们能够邀请客户团队加入,并让他们参与其中的讨论。
我目前正在开发一个所见即所得(WYSIWYG)编辑器插件。有关详细信息,请阅读本主题:

不过请注意,该链接日后可能会变更或失效(目前这是我的个人开发实例,待我的网站正式上线后会有所调整)。
该插件目前已运行得相当不错,但某些 Discourse 对 Markdown 的扩展功能仅在预览中可见,直到我切换到纯 HTML 帖子才会生效。不过我认为这对初学者来说问题不大,因为他们通常不会使用这些功能。
Discourse 现在发布了一个实验性的所见即所得编辑器 ![]()
