Indeed, ProseMirror is highly regarded by its code quality, just as its older sibling, CodeMirror. It even raised quite a bit of money on Indiegogo.

Are you planning on open-sourcing your editor? I'd love to use something like this on a project of mine. (I currently use the much less ambitious EasyMDE [1], which is based on CodeMirror.)

Yes, that's the plan! I've long lamented that editors like Typora and Roam are closed-source, preventing users like me from tweaking them to my specific use-case. So I'm hoping to build something that others can modify if they need to.

My priorities are math support, citations/wikilinks and the ability to define custom document structure (theorems, etc.). I basically want users to be able to specify a ProseMirror schema with CSS to go along with it.

Can I ask about your specific use case? Any features you've been really missing? No promises they'll make it in, but I'm curious :)
