RE: Enhancing the user experience on steemstem.io - v0.7 is out
Seems like a very significant update.
A lot of work went into this release.
Just a quick comment about the preview.
While markdown specifies that two newline characters are required for sending a block of text to the next line, in practice most Steem apps haven't followed that convention and one newline in markdown is translated into a newline in HTML in those apps.
Initially StemQ was following the markdown convention but some people noticed that the construct of paragraphs was different than on other more popular apps.
So I changed StemQ to be in line with those apps.
So maybe it might be an idea to configure your markdown library to do this as well.
Well done!
Thanks for the comment. I am aware of the subtleties of several Steem apps not following the current markdown syntax and I hesitated longly before deciding what to do. At the end of the day, I decided to stick to standard markdown. We can rediscuss this, but I am actually a strong adopter of the standards are made to be followed paradigm. If there is a need to upgrade/modify the standards, this is one thing. However, here, I honestly don't see the need.
