For "add" let user focus on a certain type of media

[bryanph]

So instead of just adding rich text you add a certain type of media as a focus (so that later the UI can be changed to accommodate different types of media).

• Rich text
• Video
• Image
• Audio
• Resource (like a pdf, website?)

DITA may be a "media" format may be almost as relevant as rich text, as it contains some of the same elements.

My Use case:
I work in Language Technology, supporting linguists who work with minority languages. I daily run into situations where I want to store and recall bits of data, whether it be steps to resolve a problem, useful resources, or interesting articles.
Often, I may want to generate a PDF combining some of these items to share with someone.
The metadata of DITA allows one to define things like links, version numbers, environment, audience, dates, etc, so that I can powerfully bag and tag these items, but I wanted a graph storage system to show the links and help me organize.

That is in interesting use case @erros84. I am working on a redesign in this branch https://github.com/bryanph/Geist/tree/feature/redesign and am for now focusing on rich text to avoid over-complication. However, I suppose this could be generalized at a later date to more ouput formats like the one you propose.

After further research, DITA is a powerful schema with a very restrictive workflow, and so I'm focusing on Markdown. Would it be very disruptive to put this in there: https://www.npmjs.com/package/draft-js-markdown-shortcuts-plugin ?
