opened on Oct 10, 2024

Context

We want to move away from the current "edit-then-preview" workflow and completely remove the box structure, for a WYSIWYG implementation of the editor.
As the user types, they should see the article exactly as it looks when it is published.
Please check out the editor on medium.com for an example of the look and feel we are aiming for.
Part of meta issue #1022

Current Behavior

The (alpha) editor is historically a basic text box where users type content, then press "Preview" to see how the article will appear when published. This "Preview" was removed in PR #1031 - Removed view preview button with its associated code

This preview system was initially designed to separate editing from final viewing.

Expected Behavior

  • The editor should support WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) functionality.
  • Markdown features are already implemented: when a user types markdown, it automatically formats in real-time. This was done in PR feat: Add auto-apply markdown features on editor: Enable WYSIWYG #1068 - Add auto-apply markdown features on editor: Enable WYSIWYG
  • As the user types, the editor should display the exact formatting and styling the article will have when published—no preview step needed.

              We want to move away from the current "edit-then-preview" workflow and completely remove the box structure, for a WYSIWYG implementation of the editor.
              
As the user types, they should see the article exactly as it looks when it is published.
              
Please check out the editor on medium.com for an example of the look and feel we are aiming for.
              
Part of meta issue #1022
              Current Behavior
              The (alpha) editor is historically a basic text box where users type content, then press "Preview" to see how the article will appear when published. This "Preview" was removed in PR #1031 - Removed view preview button with its associated code
              This preview system was initially designed to separate editing from final viewing.
              Expected Behavior
              • The editor should support WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) functionality.
              • Markdown features are already implemented: when a user types markdown, it automatically formats in real-time. This was done in PR feat: Add auto-apply markdown features on editor: Enable WYSIWYG #1068 - Add auto-apply markdown features on editor: Enable WYSIWYG
              • As the user types, the editor should display the exact formatting and styling the article will have when published—no preview step needed.
