We plan to offer a WYSIWYG on the DEV editor eventually, but since our members are mostly developers, we started with the markdown editor. Who is your audience?

Just non-devs, but I also plan to make it easy for others to install this one their own server as well.

I think CodeMirror is too colorful. SimpleMDE might be OK, but not sure.

BTW, I have seen Discourse using Markdown, successfully, even for non-devs. They use just a TextArea, I think.

I like utteranc.es. It is easy to install, but it seems that non-GitHub users cannot comment.

Here is the demo, but it cannot comment yet. aloud-comments.herokuapp.com/guide
