Presentation

StackEditor is a Markdown editor. It's like in the Submit a Story tab of Steemit, but with many additional features. The editor is available here.
It is (in my humble opinion) more ergonomic, beautiful and complete than Steemit's editor.

The advantages of StackEditor

This editor is full of interesting features:

• It has a view of the result in real time, as on Steemit, but it is placed on its right side which is more ergonomic.
• The interface is very pleasant and streamlined.
• Synchronization with Google Drive/Dropbox is available
• Advanced functions: html to markdown,...
• Quick publication for WordPress, Blogger,... And maybe one day Steemit!
• Your article is saved in real time in the cache of your browser. Once the page is loaded, you no longer need wifi!

This editor is ideal for writing articles. What I prefer is the interface, ergonomic, streamlined. Here is an overview:

Note that several themes are available.

One single defect: the import of images that is not native and you need to upload your images to another site. No problem with internet images but only with Screenshots,...

It supports the creation of multiple documents, so you can use it as the draft busy function if you want!
Another handy feature is adding comments to your article. To add small ideas for example.

What's good is that you can write your article with it, but you can also publish it with Steemit as well as with busy, steepshot,... I would advise you to use Busy (You can get a free upvote depend on your followers's reputation, if you use the #busy tag)

Note that version 5 is available here: https://stackedit.io/app. It's up to you to test it, I prefer version 4.

In any case know that I haven't shown you everything and that there are still quite a few things to discover!

The toolbar

To write an article, you will have to use the markdown like Steemit, but the advantage here is that everything is grouped simply using a toolbar, let's find out together:

(Reminder of the conventional logos, you can skip to the following one here)

• The B is used to capitalize
• The I is used to put in italics
• The globe is used to add hyperlinks
• The 4th logo just to the right of the globe is used to add quotations.
• The 5th logo is used to insert the code
• The 6th logo is used to add images
• The 7 and 8 th logos are used to add lists.
• The 9th logo allows you to change a text in title.
• The 10 th logo can be used to add a separation.

Note that you can select the desired part before clicking on a button.

Manage your documents

The top right menu allows you to manage your documents.

To change the title of the document, go to the gray bar at the top.
To delete it, click on delete document (the one you see), or on management to manage it all more easily.
The document system is thus very well done and has a search bar to find a specific document.
