Hi, I thought I’d quickly find a source editor component for an ember application on the web. Unfortunately, due to the proximity to ember editor plugins, its actually hard to find something. So, I’d like to offer source code editing in an ember application, syntax hightlighting would be a plus (goal is that the user edits Python code). Any hints / links / projects? ---

It’s unclear if you’re trying to avoid an ember addon, but `ember-ace` sounds like exactly what you’re going for: [Ember Observer](https://www.emberobserver.com/addons/ember-ace) ---

[CodeMirror](https://github.com/codemirror/CodeMirror) is a good, non-ember-specific library for that. You can add it to an Ember app via [ember-auto-import](https://github.com/ef4/ember-auto-import), or you can use an addon that already wraps it like [ivy-codemirror](https://github.com/IvyApp/ivy-codemirror).
