Anyone else using Livewire + Tiptap? Hit a pile of v3 quirks.

Tiptap v3 + Livewire 3 had a few traps: - `tiptap-markdown` setContent override is broken in v3 (mismatched transactions on every edit) - `wire:ignore` is a must on the editor wrapper or Livewire wipes the contenteditable on re-render - Round-tripping markdown via `markdown-it` + `turndown` is the pragmatic fix Sharing in case anyone hits the same wall.

Bookmarking. We tried tiptap-markdown last month and gave up on v3 — switched to Quill which was painful for different reasons. The markdown-it/turndown combo sounds saner.

It is. Round-tripping introduces tiny formatting drift on edge cases (nested lists especially) but for 95% of devlog content it's solid.
