Image Uploads

[TimCliff]

I'm not sure the best way to implement this. Most likely the images would need to be stored somewhere off the actual Steem blockchain. Opening for discussion.

In progress elsewhere. Stay tuned.

(note that I am closing this not because we don't like the feedback, but that the steemit.com repository is specifically for issues related to the code inside of it - it's not a discussion forum.)

Add a simple github-like image upload in the markdown editor. An upload button is probably the most likely scenario so that would be the first method. While uploading show a loading indicator (progress bar perhaps) outside of the editor and when done insert the markdown text with the image url in the editor.

Did I mention this would be like GitHub? lol .. Well here it is, feel free to change it but this is the basic idea..

I used the "selecting them" link to choose the file on my hard drive:

Submit a Story:

This is a Reply to a post or comment. I did a screen capture and pasted from clipboard but I can also open images and copy / paste them into the editor.. I don't think we want that text bar as shown above on the reply box, it is bulky. Having that description on "Submit a Story" will help users find this feature.
