Rich Text Editor
Markdown can be confusing to users who aren't familiar with it. Specifically, the fact that single line breaks are ignored by Markdown is unintuitive to new users. Sites such as Reddit offer both a rich text editor and a markdown editor. IMO we should follow suit by having a setting that lets the user choose which of the two editor types they want to use, with rich text being the default.
Of course, a rich text editor would be rather tricky to implement, especially when you consider spoilers etc. We could potentially fork something like RichTextKit in order to do this.

This also looks quite good
