Use a simple editor to improve UX

I think that the best solution is finally found. Basically Medium Editor is a bunch of code packaged into a library that can be implemented into any web application. We can describe the regular user of the editor as someone who is concentrated on the creation, not on the code or other functions.

That is why developers are more and more exploring the great features of that new wave visual HTML text editing tool. Who wants to add a WYSIWYG editor into their application? But not a traditional and hard to understand.

I think it would be helpful, for all non-technical people who love Medium-style writing and editing, to better understand whether this is something they can install on their server and then edit their site/blog with it, or something designed only for developers of publishing apps.
