This is vulnerable to super trivial stored XSS attacks. PoC: https://www.managify.org/pd/notes/nr9Kh7fKaO9sdru%2FU1TA0uow...

It appears to accept and regurgitate whatever HTML you provide, including script tags!

This is misleading spam.

It's a company selling some kind of personal CMS and productivity suite with notes, spreadsheets, calendars, etc.

It has nothing to do with the editor, which has no technical details, no open-source code, seems to be just like dozens of others, and has a working XSS attack documented on this very page.

Also why would anyone trust a company with no business model or privacy policy with their personal data?

There have been javascript-based editors for years, as well as CMS systems. I'm unclear what is new about this particular flavor?
Primary advantages of using Managify over alternatives:

1. Single Platform

By building a single platform for all your documents, we are able to offer powerful, unique features. Ex. Users can see all their notes, bookmarks and calendar events on any specific undertaking in a single interface.

2. Unique User Interface

We've designed unique, consistent and intuitive user interfaces across different modules.

Example:

- Our tasks-management interface in the projects module is one of our best - Intuitive keyboard shortcuts makes it work almost like a free-text editor, making it super-fast but highly structured.

3. Unique Features

Examples:

- Customizable labels that can be organized within folders, allowing the same document to effectively be in multiple folders through the labels. This provides the right dimensionality for quickly identifying the relevant resources. For instance, you can have 30 labels organized in 6 different high-level categories. You can use the specific label or high-level category for quick filtering based upon what you are interested in.

- RegEx Search. Surprisingly few applications have RegEx search + labels. These 2 can work great together for filtering purposes.

4. Fast, Simple, Cross-Device Compatible And Free

That all sounds fine. The title of the post seemed to indicate this project was about the WYSIWYG editor. I understood codingdave's question to relate to the WYSIWYG editor in particular.
Is this going to be open-source? I'm confused about why I'd want or need to create an account.

Yes, I would totally put my passwords on a random web service I know nothing about.

This appears to be similar to Evernote.com or Inkpadnotepad.com or the similar cloud note taking services. Looks cool though.
Was it tested in MS Edge?

Does not quite work there...

Interesting. Is this open source or a service?
