A Proposal - Points, Premium Content, and WebHooks
Prologue
As of writing, deviantART provides some APIs which third party developers can use in applications. This allows people to create applications such as Pickley (https://www.deviantart.com/pickley)'s Sta.sh Client - applications that allow you to interact with deviantART away from the website itself, and even when away from your computer. A minimal OAuth2 API is exposed, which allows users to authorise applications with their accounts, which, in turn, allows applications to perform certain actions with your account.
The OAuth2 API could do with some changes, but is fine for the time being. Aside from OAuth2, deviantART provides an API for sta.sh, and some other basic

DeviantArt Eclipse: First Impressions
Ok so this journal editor is weird....
No preview? Or is there no way to edit the markup? This feels like a step backwards. By all means get rid of custom CSS, even though that is one of the few premium features of this site. But if there is no way to use specific markup then that is a little odd. Being unable to preview is a little odd.

How can you guarantee the estimated reading time is accurate?
Lets try adding an image:
Some decent formatting options for images... now how do I format text? Using ctrl + b for bold seems to work fine, maybe similar for underline and italics? Apparently so. Text formatting options also turn up if you highlight some text, fun.
