Liquid tags quick add

This is great, as are a lot of these concepts...

Fundamentally the most important factor for the default editor is that it be minimal and intuitive and present what you need when you need itβ€” Also it should really be pleasant for sharing quick bites. Yes, big blog posts need exhaustive functionality, but small questions for the community don't.

That's the commentary I need to have on anything with an abundance of functionality, but I think this is a fascinating concept project and I wholly support this exploration. @lisasy you should definitely pay attention to this πŸ˜„

I agree with that entirely. Simple by default! I would imagine as Forem moves into less tech orientated spaces though the reverse would be true.

But then the argument would probably be for an actual WYSIWYG by default, rather than a markdown editor calling itself a WYSIWYG πŸ˜‹
