Use WSYIWIG instead of markdown editor?

Is this an option? How can I go about doing this?

That's JS though, not PHP. I don't want to get into the whole JSxPHP debate, but PHP still has better hosting/server support than JS/node.

Back to the topic though, I would appreciate some visual editor as well (though I might just do it myself). I think Anchor is really great and love the markdown support, however markdown is not very friendly to "non-tech" people, making it difficult to use on websites for clients.

I think what @ducnv999 is saying is that you can use Trumbowyg to add rich text editing into Anchor but it would still output to markdown for the CMS to interpret. The alternative is to use a text editing app that can export to Markdown. A richer text editing experience has been suggested a couple of times in various issues, I think the intention was to provide better plugin support and create a plugin to add enhanced text editing

Oh, sorry, my bad.

And how is the plugin support at the moment? I'll probably make some changes to the post editor to make it more normie-friendly and was originally planning to edit the core files directly, but I wouldn't be against making it as a plugin if some decent system is in place.

Not 100% sure with plugins, what say you @CraigChilds94?
