OK, I'm jazzed.
Thanks to a recommendation today from @surfermarly, I am trying out the new (to me, at least!) eSteem Surfer app...
What can I say?
It works! And, wow, do I like what I'm seeing so far.

I have very few miles on this thing, but there have been no (unpleasant) surprises yet. I did a "cut and paste" copy of some boilerplate into the eSteem Surfer editor, which provides a very nice "side-by-side" presentation of Markdown source on the left and the visual result on the right. I like this better than the "standard" Steemit dot com editor because I don't have to constantly scroll up and down to see what's happening with the output.
But here's the real icing on the cake:
Although Steemit Inc. is dragging its feet on the ability to edit older posts, guess what:
The eSteem Surfer app already enables that function!
For me, that alone makes this app a "winner, winner, chicken dinner." It's a no-brainer.
But wait, there's more.
The app promises to offer the ability to write and save drafts of articles before posting on Steemit. Fantastic! (Note: this works!)
It also connects to the Bittrex exchange (meh... we'll see if it will hook me up with Bitshares?).
think all that is required is access to the internet? Reality T.B.D.Another cool thing: using this app, I'm not (directly) dependent upon https://steemit.com any longer. I need to do more investigation, but I
But hey, so far I am very, very impressed. I think this test drive will continue.
So, my friends,
run, don't walk, to your nearest download station and at least give eSteem Surfer a try.
CLICK HERE for a recent article that contains the latest information about the app, along with a download link.
Tell 'em @creatr sent you.
P.S. If/as I discover more cool stuff about this app, you're sure to hear about it here!
Posted using eSteem Surfer - very cool!
~FIN~
you can still reward it: CLICK HERE.
P.S. If you have an "in" with anybody at Steemit, Inc. - Would you please ask them to get rid of these damn, extremely annoying "off-website" arrow/boxes? The have, overnight, made Steemit ugly. There are much better solutions.

I been using this Surfer for a while. And yes, I like it very much too
Nice to hear another positive user report, Thanks! :D
I tried eSTEEM on iOS and had nothing but problems. @partiko app is pretty good though.
Hmmm... Sorry to hear that! :O
I'm running it on MacOS... no problems thus far.
Hehe, I'm so happy you discovered @esteemapp's surfer. I mean for us - surfers - it's a MUST isn't it? :-))
I fully agree with you here: it has a lot of features installed the community was asking for long time ago. Steemit doesn't have them yet, so that is only one of the many reason why I am using the eSteem Surfer to create and submit all of my blog posts now.
Keep on surfing my friend, hehe :-)
Hahahahahahaha! :D
I'm glad you discovered it for me... It's quite nice! :D
Thanks for the advice! I have been trying it for a few days, and I enjoy the app. It does have some UI differences that I like, but I really love the drafts and scheduled publication. Super cool!
I have not yet tried the scheduled publication feature... I'll have to try it some time.
Thanks for your visit. :D
awesome colours and composition :) have a great weekend!
All credit to @sean-curran. :D
Absolutely! 😊👍
I'm happy to coincide with you in relation to using Esteem Surfer. Since I started using it, I have not been disappointed since I have several kindnesses that have allowed me to grow in steemit. In short, I also recommend it. Best regards @creatr
Thanks, @felixgarciap!
I am not tech savvy and would love to connect someday with another on Steemit to guide me though things like this. I am looking at the page as we speak. I bet it is more user friendly than the old system we now have. Thanks @creatr.
Troy,
Just download and install it on your computer, and give it a try.
It is pretty self-explanatory.
Thanks for this information.... Can i login into esteem surfer using my steemit credentials or will I have to register with new user id and password..
Yes!
Another cool thing, you can directly log in with your standard Steemit creds...
I was able to log in and start using immediately after downloading.
You can also use it to browse without logging in.
Thanks for asking! :D
