Yeah, I've noticed more community users getting involved in GitHub and working on changes - it's great! Hopefully we can keep getting even more people to participate!
With the skills I've seen on a lot of the other projects going on here, I think we could make this site really awesome in a short amount of time if we got "all hands on deck" to focus on Steemit.com UI/UX changes. Behind the scenes the official dev team is working on a lot of stuff too, but "many hands makes light work" :)
Exactly. I was also just reading a post on Medium that @stellabelle linked and the advanced formatting on that is simply beautiful. It would be amazing to have those kind of capabilities on Steemit. I know it will be a while until the team can get onto visual vagaries like that because they aren't the most pressing things - community members could get working on it though.
Just have a look at it the formatting on the post is like high art in itself and makes the post so much easier to read.
Have you tried out the new editor on https://test.steemit.com yet?
Not yet. I will get round to it at some point:)
