Nevertheless, this is interesting, thx. 

I'm not sure if I'm looking for a rich-text browser editor that exports
to Org syntax, or rather for some tool that makes it more convenient to
directly work with Org syntax in a browser textarea window. 

E.g. tables - nobody would use Org tables if every vertical and
horizontal line/dash would need to be typed in manually ... thats just
to tedious. 

I wonder if there is something browser-based that is still plain text
oriented, but helps with input/editing like emacs. Of course emacsclient
would be perfect for this, but assume its about 'normal' people who
never heard of emacs and only have their browser with maybe a plugin.
