i looked here and at /guide but couldn't find anything about the editor i am typing this in

wouldn't it be a good idea to explain how to write on sn?

how to type bold, italic, add links and i saw someone using footnoes (i don't know how to do this without looking it up)

maybe it would be even helpful to add a question mark or something similar to the editor itself, which links to a guide. i personally know that this is markdown, but is it obvious for non-techies? or did i miss something?

We used to have a Markdown Guide link right near the now-paperclip button.
I removed it during our editor overhaul since we're moving towards WYSIWYG for people that don't know how to use Markdown (or don't want to know how).

We're going to add some cool things to the editor to make formatting easier soon ^^

We're never going to kill Markdown! In fact, the inner workings of this new editor are all Markdown - even WYSIWYG will be based on Markdown.

Since you've mentioned that you don't like using a mouse to format text, I think you'll be pleased to know that we support keyboard shortcuts for some actions

meta+B: bold
meta+I: italic
meta+k: link
meta+u: upload
meta+p: preview
meta+enter: submit

and once we'll reach the WYSIWYG stage we'll add a shortcut for every single action.

Of course this is not documented yet, it's going to be in the coming weeks.
