Show HN: Atomic Editor – Obsidian-style live preview for CodeMirror 6

Nice work! It seems like selection highlighting(?) doesn't work but the interaction feels good otherwise. I'm curious when I see things more geared toward prose using CodeMirror instead of ProseMirror. Any comment on that decision?

That looks pretty good, but it isn't quite there yet, for me. If you try to delete the opening fence, the closing fence turns into a closing fence, and the abstraction leaks in tables.

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 parser to work for other things.

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.

It's pretty nice. I was impressed with the handling of tables. Good fit-and-finish kinda of project. Congrats on building a respectable, nice tool.
