Save draft posts

**Current mood:**

http://www.9bridges.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/wrietersblock.jpg

## It would be nice to be able to save drafts of posts

In my short time here on steemit, it's become obvious that the most successful posts are longer than average. That is the content that steemit users value the most. They want to see that the author cares about what they are presenting to the rest of the community. But **it takes time** to create long, quality posts. Sometimes even more than one sitting.

To encourage high quality posts, a **Save Draft** feature would be a welcome addition!

I came across the same thing... totally, I agree with it.
It's kind of inconvenient to save it somewhere on your computer before posting

I was hyped up to start my steemit journey. Once my account has been approved. I immediately draft my content in post section. Turns out, they didn't provide save draft feature. It quite lengthy content tho. sobss. Hoping they would add this feature soon.

@blockchaineco · Dec 18 '17

I just found that Steemit does save drafts, I had created a rather long post and then closed it, and thought I'd lost the content.

But it turns out, navigating to that Create Post URL I found everything still available. This might be something with the Safari on Mac so not sure it works on all devices.

Could help someone!

Completely agree! I do a LOT with markdown and I've found [this Chrome app](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/minimalist-markdown-edito/pghodfjepegmciihfhdipmimghiakcjf/related?hl=en) really helpful for drafting documents.

I recommend using a Text Editor, like https://www.sublimetext.com/3, because I'm sure you have formatting issues copying and pasting from a Word Document

I absolutely agree, thank you for posting this!

Saving posts in draft mode would allow me to accumulate ideas for future posts and enable the ability to perfect a post before releasing it.

I often find myself writing a post, publish it and then editing it multiple times, after I've published the post.
