My requirements:
- open source (not GPL or AGPL)
- easy to use is more important than many fancy features
- Optional feature: Start a unordered list by just entering
*(without using buttons of the editor). This would be great. - No need to support old browsers. IE11 is dead.
Good:
- https://github.com/outline/rich-markdown-editor BSD License. Used by commercial company used-by=220. Supports
*and1.. menuless (inline menu). "*" gets to nice bulletpoints. - https://github.com/benweet/stackedit Markdown Supports
*(lists without using the menu. Even with sub-lists) - https://ui.toast.com/tui-editor Markdown. Supports
*. - https://github.com/ueberdosis/tiptap/ v2 arrived as beta. Looks cools. Favorite
- https://hedgedoc.org/ Markdown. Supports Real-time collaboration. But not WYSIWYG, but two columns mode exists (one column with Markup, one with HTML result)
