My new contributions to the Hive Condenser and Wallet apps.
## Context
I have been involved (voluntarily) with the development of the Condenser & Wallet apps (that are powering https://hive.blog and https://wallet.hive.blog) for quite a while now. There are other great frontends to Hive out there such as https://peakd.com and https://ecency.com but I have always been more or less faithful with the Condenser.
This is a regular report on my new contributions. Some of the new work below might still be in test and not yet deployed.
## Add highlight syntax to code blocks in blog posts
There was [a request for syntax highlighting](https://gitlab.syncad.com/hive/condenser/-/issues/115) on posts. We indeed have some developers sharing code on the platform. So I tested integrating PrismJS and HighlightJS. I picked HighlightJS due to the way it works nicely with the Condenser.
However, there were some concerns that HighlightJS package is 270KB+ which might be a problem for mobile phone users on a slow bandwidth. So this change might not get approved for deployment to production. See my next contribution below instead.

## Supporting GitHub's GIST embeds
@good-karma suggested that instead of highlighting syntax, we could simply add support for [GIST](http://gist.github.com/) embedded views. [GIST is a tool allowing you to share code snippets or data excerpts](http://gist.github.com/). It also has syntax highlighting so integrating it to the Condenser is lightweight.
There is one downside to the method though: old posts not using GIST won't have their code highlighted.

Thank you @mahdiyari for helping with testing
