Hello fellow Steemians and Steemgigers. I want to share with you today one of the features of Steemgigs. As you might have all known Steemgigs is a new STEEM blockchain web-based interface or in common Steemian parlance condenser condenser that allows you to post services that you can offer or services that you are looking for. Within this new condenser is the a new editor that you can use to post blogs with. This editor is called the untalented-editor.
Before I delve in discussing the features of the editor let me different it from the default post creation which you can access via the + CREATE botton on the top left of Steemgigs main dasboard; where you post your services/products and the Post custom request post where you post services/products you are looking for. These two posting features are primarily use to post services/products of Steemgigers. Now untalented-editor is an editor that all Steemians can use even when posting non-steemgig related articles. By default whenever you use this editor it uses the "untalented" tag as one of your primary tags although I am not sure yet if it will be the first (which is unchangeable once you posted).
At first glance it may seem your ordinary editor similar to that of the Busy.org condenser. However upon further inspection there are additional features. This will came in handy in making your blogs more beautiful and enhance the reading experience or your readers. Since Steemgigs is still in alpha you may experience some of the features not working or not yet fully implemented and I have been receiving messages from my fellow Steemgigers that there are some errors in uploading and previewing their work. Nevertheless the editor is very much usable.
To access the editor you may use this link. You may also find the link in the Main dashboard of the site located in the left middle-buttom part. Check out the gif below for a more visual location.
Once you are there you can see that it looks like a more featured filled version of Busy.org and Steemit.com editor. The menu of the editor looks like this (I have encircled in red some of the features that are not currently working of has not been implemented at the time of this writing).
It reminds me of lite versions of wordprocessors. It has headings options, your basic font styling options, alignments, quotes, numbering and bullets, HMTL commands, indentations, COLORS, highlights, insert link, insert images, insert videos and subscripts. There is information that more features are coming but for now these are the features available albeit some of it are not functioning. (NOTE: I HAD SOME ERRORS UPLOADING MY POST IF IT WORKED PROPERLY IT SHOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE THIS BELOW)
I am sure Steemians will be experimenting with these functionalities and create a more visually appealing post. For beginners this will remove the hassles of markdowns commands. Generally I really enjoy and like my first experience using the untalented-editor. There is one thing though that I hope they will include in the future a graphical interface for inserting EMOJIS! I really like to have EMOJIS insert tool in Steemit can you please include it?
Well that is it for now guys and I hope you enjoy reading my post. If you have not done so please try out the editor I know you will not regret it. Why write code if you can just edit your post with a click of a mouse!
