Thank you! I love to hear about the specific features people enjoy.

> WYSIWYG OR Markdown

I will state that switching between them is pretty flaky at the moment, is done at instance level and can cause HTML in markdown. Is designed to be choose-once-and-leave. That said, in rebuilding the editor I am aiming for easy and instant Markdown & WYSIWYG switching within editor.

Have you looked at Toast UI Editor (MIT license)?

I checked out a bunch of text editors on a past project and this one has worked very well as a WYSIWYG markdown editor.

Yeah, Got a list of potential options under review for our required criteria: https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/issues/2738

Just on a practical level, you might as well just disable the option to convert, especially if you're going to swap it out anyway. Sometimes just flipping the switch on a task opens up a little cognitive space for the rest of your work. :)

Obsidian integration would make me (and likelya bunch of its > 400k other users) happy!

Uhm that, integration with obsidian, kinda off topic as this is a standalone kB software and not an editor right?

Definitely not off topic. I do not use Obsidian but while Obsidian is a knowledge base software, I can absoslutely see the appeal of being able to organize your thoughts and notes into a full-fledged article and then push to something like Bookstack for public/team consumption.

outline has a nice rich-markdown-text-editor package for react based apps in case you can re-use it!

I looked into the LaTeX support of it for a science editor projectg
