Since SteemHunt project is open source, there is a lot of incoming bug reports and suggestions. However, there are not many developers that help with this project on solving the issues.
In this post, I would share about what I had done to help out this project, which includes fixing bugs of heading issue in the markdown, added DTube iFrame, added drafting feature for posting new post and edit post, and added the feature of saving last upvoting weightage.
All the details of the contribution are commented on Github.
