Steem Edit runs on your desktop or laptop computer. It will work even if your internet connection goes down. Steem Edit allows you to post directly to the blockchain via Piston. The bad news is, you need to get Python 3 and Piston in order to use it.
With Steem Edit you never see the markdown code. You are only exposed to a word like interface, which shows you what your readers will see.
yes bold and italic .
Steem Edit has three sizes of headings.
With Steem Edit you can add images as well.
In Steem Edit you can save and load so you can suspend your post for the day. Even take the file to another machine for uploading.
Whether you run Windows or Linux you may download it below. You will need to install piston for it to work, however.

I have created repositories for issue tracking. They are just for issues. Some users have accounts on github and some on source forge. You can reply here below if you have neither account. I found that on WIndows the user will get annoying popups about converting from Unicode. I am investigating that. Now, I can only do this on my spare time.

Perhaps, I will upload my source to sourceforge or keep this closed source. I got several likes and one 'thank you'.
I would like to be able to add images from the desktop computer rather than only being able to add a link. People that have an image hosting service please contact me [email protected]. hint hint
