My biggest complaint about Hubski right now is the fact that it is, quite frankly, terrible for doing long text posts. The layout does not handle large blocks of text at all, both because of layout (text is too small, linespacing is too small, paragraph breaks are too small) and the maddening and, frankly, incomprehensible "expired link" thing. It means that even if I wanted to do long text posts here, I'd have to write them in something else first and then copy-and-paste into Hubski. There's a reason all my original posts are links to either Medium or my WordPress blog.

    The one on Hubski is actually quite extensive....

All it can do is bold, italics, links, lists, and blockquotes. That's pretty basic. It doesn't support headings or any of the more extended stuff that even reddit does.

Make a full-page modal for writing long texts. They have it in RES, as an optional button for commenting/posting. It has two sides: editing and preview.
