Just saw this markdown editor while browsing stack overflow.

It catched my eye how similar it its to the nodebb default composer.

Would a web versión of this fit the nodebb needs?

I think it would be great to be able to not worry about this aspect on nodebb and simply attatch markdown as a dependecy like this.

Looks like a standalone app as opposed to a web library, unless I misread.

In any case, we don't typically offer compatibility with X markdown editor or whatnot for a variety of reasons:

Markdown can be disabled in favour of other parsing languages (like BBCode, etc)
There needs to be support for post-related functions offered by the existing composer, such as topic images, file uploads, tags support, etc.

The short of it is, it takes quite a bit of work to ensure compatibility and full functionality, which is why at current we only support default and redactor.
