Amazing how fast the original idea has evolved. There are now at least three versions being simultaneously developed and two of them didn't even exist a day ago.
The commenter meant original as in the original idea that sparked these subsequent, similar attempts at simplifying blogging, and experimenting with finding and capturing its essence.
I'm not sure how much generalizing you are doing. But, I was quite literally inspired by the exact words Dustin wrote: "essence of blogging" as well as the recent unveiling of his UI. I don't think I ever claimed he coined anything.
True, but in essence you're saying that you're amazed that everyone doesn't know everything. No one knows everything, and few people have encyclopedic knowledge of a niche topic like blogging. I'm amazed you didn't know that. ;-)
I think that's a great idea (to separate the repo). I was thinking about how to use this UI for multiple popular blogging platforms (Mainly WordPress and static generators).
* Firefox 11 - Works perfectly (I guess that's to be expected)
* Opera 11.61 - the bottom bar doesn't appear.
* TouchPad browser (WebKit-based) - Works great!
If anyone can verify other browsers (like IE?), I bet the author would appreciate it.

You took the concept and tried to developed it even further. Successfully or not, I can praise this, unlike the other ripoff...
Are you going to separate this interface into its own git repo or fold it into Gum?

Could you provide any help in naming the UI repo?
But I cant paste images into the body of the blog.
Support for that would make it perfect.
Actually - put explicit IMGUR support in there with a tool that allows me to simply paste the imgur link...
(If the author is reading...) Since you're using jQuery for the interface, this plugin might be perfect:

...so I thought I'd test a few more browsers:
