Use case or problem When moving the cursor in the current live preview expanding and collapsing markups like **bold** is disrupting. Proposed solution Add visual mode in which formatted text is only visible (WYSIWYG). Adding new markdowns would happen using shortcuts like in other visual editors (…

I don’t understand some users’ resistance to a fully visual mode. It would be an addition, not a replacement. All you Markdown worshipers won’t lose anything by adding another mode - one that’s much more friendly for ordinary users. It’s an app, not a cult, ffs.

I’m writing as an active user and a mentor for colleagues migrating to Obsidian from traditional editors (Word/Notion/Google Docs). We’re facing a systemic issue: for non-technical writers, the current Live Preview and Source Mode cause significant friction. The problem Formatting “blink” / jumpin…

Things are looking bleak for WYSIWYG advocates. My only source of optimism is the planned “multiplayer” functionality, which will surely result in the following experience when suggesting Obsidian as a collaborative tool to one’s colleagues: being met with a bewildered stare, and the question, “but…

I love Obsidian in many ways, but I still find the lack of a WYSIWYG mode frustrating on a near daily basis, specifically and especially when doing creative writing.

You’ll just need to install and enable the Minimal theme and the Style Settings plugin. (I als…

I’ve been wanting to switch from Evernote for years. Now that they feed my data to AI I tried again. Still the jumping text kills. It kills my focus so bad, that I will keep Evernote with its zero-privacy. Such a stupid little thing, guys. I’m so sorry. And when I read arguments such as “no, we wi…

I tried hiding the Markdown symbols with CSS and also tried the minimal theme, but this brought even greater inconvenience, such as when modifying the format. When I chose not to hide the symbols, the jumping text annoyed me, especially when I was viewing my images. My interface would change accord…
