I got tired of using Markdown and Org mode for writing web pages last year. They're so limited, and so full of odd gotchas and limitations. Instead, I started writing raw HTML, but with a post-processing step to add titles, headers, footers, and CSS, and to do macro-like things, e.g. insert pull quotes and YouTube viewers. But raw HTML is not great, either. I'm now working on an editor that lets me use Emacs-style commands and key bindings (e.g. character, paragraph, sentence, and word motion, deletion, and transposition; Emacs-style undo/redo; incremental search; and case conversions) to edit HTML in a WYSIWYG view. The new editor does it all in a Webkit-based HTML view built with Tauri. Editing this way is so much more pleasant and more powerful. I plan to publish it under an MIT license once it's good enough.
