This is nice.

However, I'd like to point out that parsing markdown inside the app was a bad idea because markdown on Reddit is a gigantic pile of broken markdown syntaxes. I tried correcting some of them in the app, but it is unfortunately like a losing battle.

I'll switch back to using the "processed" markdown that Reddit sends. I've created an issue in the OG repository to track this:

Markdown as you type on a reply is pretty heavy on the UI but works just fine. I think that with a little of optimization it could work a way faster than now.

This regex replacements are fast and don't need much more work.

Ohh I wasn't referring to the markdown editor, but markdown for submission and comments.

I have no issues with this. All links I saw both user and subreddit where parsed correctly.

Ahh ok!. Yeah markdown should be revise but for now we can push this to master to avoid false subreddits being treated as links.
