3 modes: (side-by-side, code, wysiwyg)

Some markdown editors function with 3 modes

• 2panes: "code" and "render" side-by-side (sometimes "code" and "wysiwyg" side-by-side)
• 1pane: "code"
• 1pane: "wysiwyg"

Where:

• "code" is the editable source code. read-write
• "render" is the rendered version (code rendered into html, rendered by browser). read only.
• "wysiwyg" is like "render", but also supports editing. (What You See Is What You Get).

May be nice if:

• peer-pad supported these
• we had a button (and keyboard shortcut) to switch between these 3 modes.

(Some of the old wireframes show some of this, i think)

There are some little code/render buttons in the header ... they are easy to overlook:

Code mode:

Render mode:

You can also create a "Read-Only Link", but the resulting link still gives you both panes with the button:

There's no wysiwyg, but I did encounter a CodeMirror flavour that does that:

Seems to have support for emojis. :-)

The author of CodeMirror also has done ProseMirror which is quite awesome. https://prosemirror.net/
