At the bottom of the LessWrong post editor, if you have at least 100 global karma, you may have noticed this button.

The button Many people click the button, and are jumpscared when it starts an Intercom chat with a professional editor (me), asking what sort of feedback they'd like.

So, that's what it does. It's a summon Justis button.

Why summon Justis?

To get feedback on your post, of just about any sort. Typo fixes, grammar checks, sanity checks, clarity checks, fit for LessWrong, the works. If you use the LessWrong editor (as opposed to the Markdown editor) I can leave comments and suggestions directly inline.
