Why WYSIWYG feature not coming for a long time

WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) has been proposed as a long term plan since 2021. Why it is still not coming in 2024?

Personally, I use logseq for almost any note taking things and I am happy with it. But the edit experience is the biggest issues, especially when you have many images inserted. I also have used obsidian, I think obsidian’s WYSIWYG is good enough.

At least, two features will be great enough

  1. WYSIWYG for images
  2. WYSIWYG for latex

Here is what things look like in obsidian:

Considering there are so many WYSIWYG markdown editors like obsidian, notion, bear, etc. I think it shouldn’t be really hard to implement WYSIWYG in logseq. Is there any technical challenge？Or the majority of developers and users don’t think WYSIWYG is necessary?

Regarding

I think plugins can already do a great job, and maybe there’s no need to integrate that feature into Logseq core. I’ve created logseq-live-math and it well fits my own needs.

Thanks for reminder. I have tried the plugins, it is great but there seems some bug for multi-line equations.

I’m using the multiline math without problem. Please open an issue on GitHub and I’ll try to fix it.

Plugin can be created if the community has no issue , or we can make it available on github so that whoever wants to implement can get it from git. I also want this as an extra feature to LogSeq, add me +1. much awaited feature.
