This is the easiest bestest editor on the face of the planet bar none.

I’ve been around since the “might not have a mouse” keyboard days and all the “normal for us dinosaur’s” keyboard commands work like a charm.

I don’t even have to reach for my mouse or do complicate physics to _do this_ **or this** or even

# THIS

and of course my favorite

* * *

yes yes, it’s a line  
it brings me tigger bouncing levels of joy  
no one knows why

I couldn’t stand emojii’s until they were a : away ✅.

Fixing a typo is a click away.

And how many years was:

> **this completely out of reach to normal humans**
>
> whee!
> 
> 🌟 💫

No time wasted re-counting:

1. auto
2. fixing
3. my
4. numbers,
5. yay!

You already know all the features … and you did them that way because you thought it was the best way to do them and I am here to say **yes!** it’s the best way ever!

tytyty!

Here is a wonderful example of how to integrate this all together in a post that is as beautiful in appearance as in content:

That’s awesome @rkaplan, thanks for posting that.

I’ve been wondering recently how best to present a dev roadmap for my own community. It seems obvious now that I see that, but a well-styled post is so simple and would drive conversation far more than just a link to an external tool.
