I'm testing it and seems to be very broken , typing things around and things jumps everywhere. I was trying to create something like this too, because I need something that also work for mathematical writing. Let me push a version on github and update, it fixes a lot of issues. Unfortunately it works on my own version of markdown, which is a subset of pandoc markdown, but I think one can get claude to update the pars…

Thanks for trying it out! would you mind giving some steps that allow me to repro the issue? It's early days so i'm sure there are some rough edges, hopefully I can fix them quickly.

I just clicked around a bit and randomly typed, suddenly no matter where I typed, my text was ending up at the end of the document. Found it to be pretty broken as well.

I've wanted to see a good, production-quality open source take on this editing paradigm for a long time and your implementation appears to get a lot of things right. I took a crack at this myself a few years ago but never got around to really getting it over the line: https://github.com/segphault/codemirror-rich-markdoc

Your wysiwyg support for tables is very nice, but I couldn't quite figure out how to delete a row. The checkboxes are also a little fiddly, it would be nice if the checkbox turned into editable text when the cursor moves next to it. Does Atomic Editor work with vim bindings via replit's CM6 vim plugin?

Props for building this and sharing it, I hope you stick with it.

I was able to repro one issue that could have been contributing to your broken experience - there's a slight delay between, for example, clicking text in a heading and having the "#" markdown decoration appear. This is to prevent the mouse location from shifting mid-click and causing text to be selected unintentionally (obsidian does this too). But there was a bug that was causing a cascading set of failures if edits happened during that delay window, which is likely what folks who are clicking around at random points in the editor and adding text are doing. I fixed it in 0.4.2, which should be live now.
