Hey there,

Just wanted to offer some feedback. Prosemirror's docs are woefully incomplete. The way controls are added is extremely confusing. Why do we need some node module called "prose-mirror-example-setup" ?

I know I'd personally prefer being able to add all the markup and style for the editor, and then just use prosemirror underneath the hood for state management.

Another thing that I found quite difficult, was programmatically inserting images at the cursor.

Finally, storing state as markdown has turned out to be a nightmare. Not really your fault, but perhaps something you should be aware of.




I agree the docs are obtuse, and implementing features is hard, but document state is not saved as markdown. The whole point of PM is to separate content from prsentation.
