Here is the article editors compared. I'll remove the "New Article" headline, I'll move the fixed toolbar to the top and reintroduce the formatting toolbar that (I will keep the in-line hover toolbar as well (based on Medium editor). I'll move the abstract to the top after title, similar to Substack. Then I'll also look at the general UI of rest of Substack. I've had this idea of a e-mail service with summary sent every day, could combine this with an e-mailing/subscription like capability such as Substack.

I have updated the article editing experience greatly, hope this feels much better!
