Editor as core field#21

Make the editor core without needing the plugin

I think this will be an error because a lot of people don’t need it. What’s the problem by using it as a plugin ?

As someone who runs a site with alot of content I respecfully disagree Luca. The markdown editor is not overly non tech person friendly. When i switched to the editor, i cant explain the excitement from my content creators. There is nothing you cant do with the editor you can do with the markdown field (in fact it has a kirbytext block). They now have ability to easily create galleries and timelines, and I have block requests coming in from them so many more blocks on the way.

By making core, many more newcomers to Kirby will be exposed to the much improved content creation ability it offers and the great plugin coming out.

I also manage a very large website and the new editor is the only thing that caused a lot of porblems since the client started to ask “how i can color a test?”, “how i can center a paragraph?”. At the current state create or edit blocks is not easy.

I still don’t get why is it a problem handle it as a plugin.

“At the current state create or edit blocks is not easy.” its super easy.

Looks like this is needed to improve the UX of the editor (see https://github.com/getkirby/editor/issues/70). Glad to see this is in progress!
