The new redesign of Reddit features a really slick WYSIWYG/Markdown editor. Screenshots:

Once clicking on "Switch to markdown":

Markdown

Is this an open-source library available for implementation, or is this entirely an internal Reddit-only solution?

On another note, I've been comparing a whole bunch of Markdown editors, and can't seem to find anything that works really well with React. SimpleMDE isn't bad, but its last commit was two and a half years ago, and it has no official React bindings either.

What would be my best alternative for direct implementation into a React app?

  • I've used [react-rte](https://github.com/sstur/react-rte) before. It has an official React bindings and components. It's pure text editor though, without table/image/video features – Van Jan 17 '19 at 02:52

  • @parsecer Nope :( pretty sure it's proprietary – Lucas Feb 02 '21 at 03:06
  • This one looks alright: https://www.cssscript.com/simple-extendable-wysiwyg-markdown-editor-mditor/ and demo: https://www.cssscript.com/demo/simple-extendable-wysiwyg-markdown-editor-mditor/ – parsecer Feb 02 '21 at 03:21
  • Everything after "On another note" should be moved to a new question. I will upvote and answer if you do! – Malcolm Aug 23 '21 at 16:52
