The Problem

As far as I know, project and studio description sections have undocumented character limits and the only warning you get is when you try to save the description when it's too long.

The Solution

When the user is editing a description and is getting close to the character limit (let's say at least 500 characters short), a counter for the number of characters left will appear under that field.
