Our Story
Every frontend on Steem needs a markdown editor. And to be honest, they are all somewhat broken and either don't do enough or do so much that they become a security risk.
When we were building TokenBB we were facing the same problem. We asked the
The editor we are developing comes with a MIT license of do almost whatever you want and encourages forks and change. It is used in real projects and will be ready for Steem markdown out of the box. Important security features have to be implemented once and automatically work for all frontends using it. And everyone can contribute to it, powered by 
The forked editor
mavonEditor is a markdown editor wtih many features current editors for Steem do not support:
It supports emojis (also auto replaced ones like :) and :tm:), allows latex formulas, code in many syntax highlightings and many more. Try out https://md.zhystar.com/ for a big list of features supported already.
mavonEditor is a Vue.js component and uses markdown-it for rendering. We feel this is a great stack for our preferred editor of choice. markdown-it introces itself as: Markdown parser, done right. 100% CommonMark support, extensions, syntax plugins & high speed https://markdown-it.github.io
Using such a versatile markdown renderer will allow us to easily add new formats to our markdown, maybe render dtube videos inline or display SteemMonsters cards with a >Selena Sky<, the sky is the limit.
What we already improved
Sadly the editor is somewhat abandoned for 6 months now:

So we first checked all existing pull requests and included the ones that made sense. Then we updated all dependencies to new versions to fix some security issues with outdated packages.
And then we exported the markdown renderer as a global vue function, so any component can render markdown content as html. See how easy it was to add markdown rendering to TokenBB:
Since we use the same renderer the editor uses, all formatting will be exactly the same as the editor preview window shows. This gives the user predictability about how their post will look and saves frontend developers time that they can use to develop awesome features instead of fighting weird formatting bugs.
Roadmap
The goal of this editor is to be the de-facto default editor of Steem. It will be used is popular frontends and therefore we expect new features to happen when users request them. The end goal would be to have new frontend developers add the vue component into their app, change about 10 lines of code and have a working editor with preview and renderer that works in ways users are used to and happy with.
We plan to utilize utopian task requests to add new features to our editor and to reward contributors as much as possible. Many Steem users will thank you for your contribution.
