Trying out the tools
The header size button is nice. It shows the result, and adds the proper number of pound signs at the start of a new line. Bold also adds the proper markdown codes, as does italics.
the quotation button automatically includes the carat. The link button adds a frame for users to type text and the code. For example, this is a rickroll. Don't say you weren't warned. The image button works similarly.
Images can also be copy/pasted from a computer folder into this text editor. I can also type in the markdown code for other functions, like the pull-left and pull-right commands, and it shows properly in the preview panel. So far, this is passing all the basic tests I can think of for anything I might try to type.
The options below the preview include upvoting this post myself or not and choosing the reward split, 100% power up, or decline payout altogether just like in Steemit.
So far, at least after a cursory examination, Busy 2.0 looks like a success already! Click here for the beta announcement thread from the devs! Perhaps the next iteration of the Story Cubes contest will be made here instead of in Steemit!
