  69 ### Next Steps
  70
  71 Now we have a simpler WYSIWYG editor, as implemented for descriptions in this release, I'll probably be looking to carry this across to the comments system to provide that with simple WYSIWYG editing, although this will require some breaking changes to the currently supported markdown content of this input. Not sure what other features I'll focus on just yet.
  72
  73 Over the next few days I'll be putting together a "BookStack in 2023" blogpost, like [done previous years](https://www.bookstackapp.com/blog/bookstack-in-2022/) to look back and assess the progress of the project over the last year.
