Thank you for the feedback Bushkill.
The background color does need to be adjusted a little. Technically the BG color here on steemit is not white, it's very light grey (#fefefe) so we still see white box issues here too, but it would be good to have the color match in the preview window to be the same for sure.
I have not tried Golos yet, but that is on my list to try next.
Ya, the background color was just an observation and not a big deal, the not processing of markdown code correctly is the thing that really stuck out.
I was able to setup a Golos account, it was a bit sketchy, but I did respond within 30 seconds of me sending the text message with the code.
After that I put my account name, email etc It did throw an error after waiting abotu 2 minutes. But I opened new window and found my account was actually created. So it seems they have similar "network broadcast" issues Steemit was having. (maybe on new account with low golos power?)
