I found a good WYSIWYG text editor

Froala editor is Javascript web editor. It´s a good idea to integrate in Flarum.

danielperez9430 I've tried the free version of Froala, and while I can say that it seems like a good editor, once you add custom things it can start to be slow.

Some alternatives:
- Pell (demo)
- Slate (demo)

I think Slate has been talked about.

for people whiling to buy a $99 license (minimum). ?

Yeah I think a simple light stuff such as Pell, Slate fit nicely the Flarum flavor...
There is SimpleMDE (by Sparksuite) aswell. (github) ?

Blueh

is there a markdown editor that applies the format immediately without displaying the tags/syntax?

This editor seems to be much better:

Seems a good idea with a pretty straightforward implementation. What about the image attachment to the post via editor?

Hmm... I'd rather just complete my ProseMirror extension to be honest, but as @Ralkage suggested there are WYSIWYG editors like Quill that has been created already.

Loky

To be honest, I will never use a WYSIWYG editor that didn't show the original code......
SimpleMDE is I think the best for flarum, it's light, you have a fullscreen function like flarum, you can see markdown, you have 2 ways to visualise code (one is a fullscreen splitting screen ‼ ), it is phone friendly too...

Brief... It depend a lot of the user in fact... But that my taste !!
SimpleMDE (or similar) must be a core feature and then have a choice of extension for the user side that completely hide the markdown.. But I always say that it's a mistake, markdown is really easy and if random people don't know it, it's just cause webmaster always put a freaking WYSIWYG editor !!

Hahahahaha I just see that on quill they say "built for developers".... hahaha the joke !!
A dev need to see the code.... (Or my life is a lie) ? "Quill, built for developers who don't give a shit about markdown !!" hahahaha ?

I've been using Froala for as long as they have been out. At first they were good, but everything went bad when they were bought. They raised their prices for a product that has many bugs in it. Also, their documentation has many mistakes.
