Wow...i think this new development is going to make steemit an interesting place to be, because now mistakes could be corrected anytime, anyday. I just hope they would also include upvoting posts even after the normal 7 day interval, just like how #ONO intends to do

I really don't look much at what I posted yesterday, much less over a week ago, so frankly this has absolutely no impact on me.

For many of us, our popular steemit posts are often some of the first result bon Google for a given topic/keyword, so being able to keep them updated is good for everyone.

This is great news Kenny. Considering steemit content organized like a bookshelf that can be amended and added to is a pretty epic concept. Thinking of ways to share and disseminate info, writing and skills using the blockchain gets me fired up for sure. Good things keep a coming with Steem!

It will be great to be able to do this without any limits whatsoever.

I do believe this are exciting times, and we all should be grateful for the opportunity to be here, experiencing first hand how concepts like Steem start to evolve while becoming more popular.

Thanks for the heads up @kennyskitchen!

I'll head over and read the update after I digest a bit of your post...
- Unlimited updated will also mean if you included for instance a youtube that has since become unavailable, you can replace it or remove it.
  - However, thinking thinking thinking, if there is no way to see the history of versions, hmm I don't really like that idea. Let's say you do a great article about eagles and I make a great comment about your article. And then for whatever reason, you completely change the article to be about gasoline engines, hmmm see where my head is taking me?
- I'm a huge fan of wikis because information should be able to updated, added to, taken away from. But their main feature is being able to track the history of the page.
  - Hmm I'm going to have to sleep on this before I give it 100% support. I like the idea, but can see some consequences...

So about this library idea...
It sounds like a very cool idea. Something that you would think would be incorporated directly into Steemit.com and all or at least some front ends.

This is the year 2018 and if you come to my blog, you shouldn't have to scroll page after page after page of headings to find the golden nuggets I have written about things that might interest you.
- This idea will help take steemit to the next level. I really, really like the concept.
  - Do you have a post explaining how it all works?

Yeah, I stumbled upon this as well. This is a really cool change as the authors should always be able to edit their own content. Sure, it has some advantages to lock in content as well but this was a rather limiting rule before and I am glad they change it now.

Thanks for the alert on this. It does give steem/steemit a whole new level of usefulness.

Coming from a background of building local community websites, the 7 day editing rule severely restricted how I could use steemit.

With this new feature I will be able to go back, revisit and revive my local community building ideas.

Would editing a post reopen its 7 day earning window? I come across lots of old posts that are worth an upvote, but I refrain because it would be a worthless vote.

I see that editing is working perfectly! Great stuff. Now if only they could implement a type of "soft delete" that will allow us to hide old posts, thus removing old non-working videos from Dtube channels. My channel has a bunch of dead videos...

In the mean time, I've just retitled all my dead vids as "expired" and typed "aaa" in the snapshot box. Now my channel has all my pinned working videos on top, while the non-working vids are at the bottom and show a gray box as thumbnail.

Let's keep at it devs, we're getting closer to prime time! Another thing. Put in a good word for "collections" feature, like what's on G+. That is such a useful feature to have on steemit!!!
