And it's open source https://github.com/ckeditor/gith... Nice!

Markdown is powerful, but unergonomic to write. WYSIWYG is a great authoring experience, but is often too rich to compile down to Markdown. GitHub Writer is a cool extension that lets me have the best of both worlds!

Hello Hunters! Today we are announcing GitHub Writer to let you enjoy the ease of use of WYSIWYG editing in GitHub. ✍️ As creators of two WYSIWYG editors, you can guess that plain text Markdown has not been our favorite. We use GitHub extensively and feel the struggle the built-in Markdown editor creates. We have thus decided to bring our product, CKEditor 5 (https://ckeditor.com/ckeditor-5/), to it and see how we can improve the situation. Roughly half a year later we present to you GItHub Writer. GitHub Writer is a browser extension that is based on CKEditor 5, a JavaScript rich-text editor with a modular, plugin based architecture and real-time collaboration capabilities. GitHub Writer has all the features available in the GitHub plain-text editor, including Markdown input, but offers a writing experience where you don’t need to switch to preview to see how your content will look when you submit it. This comes in handy especially in case of features like tables, where Markdown is not user-friendly at all. We are happy to announce the product here and we cannot wait for your feedback. Let us know the changes you’d like to see and issues you run into and ways we can make the extension better for everyone. After all GitHub Writer is an Open Source project. 😉 P.S. We love our side projects at CKEditor. We created another browser extension for GitHub in the past. HangHub (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) is a team productivity tool that allows you to see the users who are working on the same GitHub issue or pull request as you in real time. 👫

Fingers crossed for this and I'm on my way to install it ✌️

Is there any reason to constrain it to GitHub only?

On Firefox the extension is asking for "Access your data for sites in the s3.amazonaws.com and github.com domains" I was curious for s3 and found this in the code // The following are domains used by GitHub to upload files. We need to have permissions on them, so we avoid cross-origin issues when mimicking the upload within the GitHubUploadAdapter class.

Sleek and super useful, I like it!

Looks super useful! Any roadmap to support GitLab?

Looks neat!

This is great! Thanks so much for making this 🙌. ?makers - I've received the following error a handful of times when trying to edit a comment, and then it won't let me proceed. The workaround is to refresh the page and attempt to save again, which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. "This textarea was not sync'ed with Github Writer" (screenshot: https://share.getcloudapp.com/nO...)

OMG thanks a lot for providing a quick and fast way to create tables <3

Greaat idea! Looks very useful. I can't wait when I try it :) Congratulations!

Great extension that will meet my needs, congratz! I'd love to see a line spacing option as well. Cuz, now it is automatically adding space between paragraphs and sometimes we may not want to add spaces between paragraphs of the same style. Thank you!

I wish if it was available for other platforms like gitlab, bitbucket.
