I would like to see it too! Looks like there's a similar issue, #4750.

I am not very experienced with rendering markdown in React but react-remark seems to accomplish this task well. To highlight code blocks shikijs is interesting.

Also, I want to point that adding markdown support in a social media would require a WYSIWYG editor (or something similar) to be used by all users.

If I remember well, rendering shiki in such a level can bring performance issues but it still can be done 😁

This changes everything. There are valid reasons to not use it then. I agree with the linked post's arguments.

Code blocks seem nice, but very limiting in 300 characteres.
Maybe it would be nice to have a way of "attaching" code, the same way we attach pictures. It would not be limited by the 300 characters, and it would be more accessible than a screenshot.

I think that it should be a code snippet, the same way that slack does.

In a sense, it's just attaching a file to a post (on a different format from a video or a photo). I don't know how files work inside of Bluesky, but i think it would be the easiest implementation.

And the character limit wouldn't be an issue
