Is there an opportunity to replace a clean markdown editor in lemmy’s own instance with some kind of WYSIWYG? Preferably similar to Editorjs? Has anyone already implemented this in their own instances?

I would be willing to pay the coder for help in replacing the editor.

    Go to the project repo and write an issue saying you want this improvement and that you’re ready to pay someone for implementing it.

      I wrote about it about 2 years ago.

        2 years ago, there was probably less than a few hundred lemmy users but today there’s more than 50 thousands active users alone and several front-ends. Try again.

    You could look into alternative front ends, some instances run them

    I don’t think an instance is going to have special features otherwise it might be a pain to update when the next Lemmy version comes

        You can check here: https://lemmyapps.netlify.app, filter by device: Web.
        Alexandrite has a live preview of your text, but that’s about it, you won’t find anything better than that on any of the other ones unfortunately. Maybe some of them have it planned.

          I’m not familiar with them myself, I prefer the default UI

          Still no one better than Photon.

          I see “https://ujournal.com.ua” and i think, i can found any similar, but nothing…

    Not exactly what you’re asking for, but GhostText might be useful. It lets you use your preferred text editor to write in any browser text field.
