I've not been around for some while on steemit but as at when I returned steemit was quite different from what I use to know.
>It's the steemit beta

Steemit beta has some great features aside the beautiful and user friendly interface.

The beta version seen here is same as the one gotten when steemit is logged in from a browser.
I must confess I really love the new design and all thanks to @ned Scott for the improvement.

The markdown as seen in the pictures are awesome, some of which are:
1. The text bolding
2. The italics
3. Increasing font size
4. The screenshot effect etc

There are really awesome

There is also a noticeable improve regarding pictures uploading .
Pictures upload is very fast when compared to the previous version.

For me this is major improvement and I would like to thank everyone who worked together to make this possible.
