WYSIWYG editor in Joplin

I would like a nice editor on mobile since using markdown with a mobile keyboard is painful. Please add an option to enable a nice editor. If you do not want an editor, just disable it in the options.

There are no editors for mobile.

I thought this was built as an alternative to Evernote? EN has WYSIWYG. Honestly, I wouldn’t care if it were plain text like Windows Notepad. I’m not a fan of 3 panes. I would prefer to have just one pane to type and read. But what I want to read is MY NOTE, not a bunch of Mark Up, Mark Down, Mucked Up garbage. I set the layout to Output, but then I can’t edit it without switching. I’d be happy just to be able to edit on the same screen I’m reading. And by Edit, I mean simply changing text. I don’t need this to be a synchronized 156 GB version of Microsoft Office. Although I’m not a developer, I can figure out what the additional text means, but I shouldn’t have to. Keep in mind, you’re catering to a large crowd. Keep it simple.

I’m fairly certain Joplin isn’t catering to the large crowd that uses Evernote and Onenote but to people that want to use Markdown.

It’s true that Joplin is not catering to a big crowd, but perhaps it’s appeal has reached a broad enough level now that it’s catching on with a larger group of people that don’t care as much about markdown specifically. Perhaps it’s attracted users looking for an open-source, bring-your-own-backend, use-on-many devices, note-taking app.

Closing topic as everything has been said about it. We all know that having this feature would be nice but that’s a lot of work and nobody is willing to work on it at the moment.
