Also, would there be a better place to comment this? I didn't see any profile comment places, so I commented here...
i was just thinking about that earlier today.. profile comments would be cool, but i don't really know how to display it to users without being confusing. suggestions are welcome.
Maybe instead of only being able to view they're posts when you go to someone's profile, where the posts usually are, you could have a "posts" tab that is automatically open when you view they're profile, but also a "comments" tab that you could switch to.
yeah i think that would be a good solution. maybe it could be called a "wall" or something similar. like how youtube used to have a discussion tab.
Oh no! I think I found a bug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, that's enough exclamation points. When you do a post, and use the code thing
(like this),
and include a link, you can barely see the link! For example
https://jesterhat.org
Could you make it so that links don't do anything when they're in the code things, and only show when they're in paragraphs and all the other stuff? Because if you're trying to show code you want to a: be able to copy it, b: be able to see it. Ok, that's it!
ouch.. the way that links and mentions are created is really hacky and i agree its not great.. i think i'll have to write my own plugin to make the links and mentions. i'm currently using a premade thing that does it fairly well but making my own could be fun.
Yeah, I looked in you're source code and saw you were using Tailwind! I'd never heard it be fore but it looks awesome and I'll probably use it. Even if you just made the links a different colour when they were in the mentions, that would be great.
the source code on GitHub is for a technically different site, but yeah both are tailwind. the issue is that the editor outputs html, which gets sanitized client side. somewhere in that process, urls have to be made into links and mentions have to be made into mentions, but it's really hard to do it well.
He'll get notified? like if I say @theawesome98 you'll get a notification for that as well as my reply?
