Loving Steem!

Really liking Steem so far. It took me a while to figure out I had to click the logo to post after a recent update changed things around.

The mobile version will be worked on the future I assume. Right now in case no one has reported it the post with images and videos make the post go off the screen on the right and there is no way to view that part. Otherwise it looks great!

Will Steem be integrated with Bitshares in any way in the future? For instance with the Bitsharestalk forum or the client? Like adding the ability to post to Steem from the client. Or post from the forum added to Steemit by a bot or something? It may help bring forum members to adopt Steem when they see replies to their topic here earning rewards.

Will there be an addition in the future that will make it a little easier to post images and videos without using markdown, like a wysiwyg editor? That would be a cool edition for those of us not that familiar with markdown. It's one of the reasons I don't like posting on Reddit that much.

Also a Bio section for accounts would be cool so users could say who they are, what they do, where they are from and link to their website or Facebook profile.

Maybe also let other users upvote or downvote profiles as sort of a reputation builder. That could also help filter posts from spam accounts if many users have downvoted an account. What do you think?

Markdown is so simple and such a portable format that I think everyone should learn it and it should be used everywhere. Everyone should learn to separate content and structure from representation. M$ Word has tought us the wrong way - to think about font size etc...

Here is an example of how simple it is:

>This will be shown as a quote

# This is a level 1 header
This is a paragraph

This is another paragraph
## This is a level 2 header
1. This is a numbered list
2. This is an item in the same list

- This is an unordered list
- This is another item in the list

This will be shown as a quote

This is a level 1 header

This is a paragraph

This is another paragraph

This is a level 2 header

This is a numbered list
This is an item in the same list

This is an unordered list
This is another item in the list

See how simple it is? It's just amazing. This also leaves it to the developers to decide how everything will be formatted depending on the screen size.
