I'm surprised how beautiful the UI is in some places while being ugly in other places. I think they ought to redesign the form for editing stories.

Also, why not have an expanded, non-editing view? The <input> elements do take up extra space when just viewing the extra fields.
It seems to me that they're missing some of the finer points of Single Page Application design. I wish I had a good guide I could point them to.
Again, though...they're totally nailing other parts of single-page application design. It's an amazing app that could be made a lot better with some refinement.
