prosemirror-view VS milkdown

Yes, I looked at it a bit more the other day and the API looks like a really nice layer on top of ProseMirror.

Draft.js was another far out experience for me. I built a first attempt of my app with it, only to discover that Draft.js didn't work on Android. It was buggy on iOS, but Android just didn't work. I had just assumed erroneously that—Facebook—you know, it'll work on Android. But it didn't at all. Android support did land by a huge community PR[0], but by then I had already decided I needed to find something else. That PR actually led me[1] to ProseMirror:

> This approach is the one used by Prosemirror (see https://github.com/ProseMirror/prosemirror-view/blob/master/...), which is the only Rich Text Editor I've tried that works well on Android. [1]

When it comes to community plugins, I don’t run a single one. The core plugins do what I need. I only miss two features, scrollable code blocks and support for WYSIWYG tables like in the Milkdown editor. To my knowledge, there are no community plugins for this, so I haven’t had any reasons to install such plugins. I guess I’m a quite basic Obsidian user.

To be honest, there are not many disadvantages. There are some annoyances. I personally miss a good way to build tables. A table-building solution like the one in Milkdown (visual Markdown editor used by e.g., Standard Notes) would be very welcome. I also miss horizontal scrolling in code-blocks and other such minor stuff. Since Obsidian is improving in a high pace, and hasn’t even reached version 1.0 yet, I can live with that.

When writing a list in the new Markdown Visual (which seems promising despite the misfortunate font choice), I am not able to indent a list item using tab, like you do in all other writing software. As I understand it, it is based on the Milkdown editor, which states in their shortcuts that it is Mod-[ or Mod-] to sink or lift items.

Sounds like you need a WYSIWYG editor. There are a bunch of them, but I like Prosemirror and Milkdown the most.

Milkdown is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor. It's an open source project that integrates Markdown editor, components, and plugins.

HyperMD and Quill are pretty nice. The one I currently have my eye on is one called Milkdown (https://milkdown.dev)

Hi guys. Just made an editor wrapping around Milkdown, the WYSIWYG Markdown editor component. Here is the installation link:
