I am playing with Visual Editor

The first time I ever used an editor like this was in Wordpress approximately 100 years ago.

I was a thinner man back then, less grey, in less pain.

I could often be hear proclaiming:

Who the fuck are you? Why have you been following me around? Is that a camera!? Are you some kind of cop!!?

In a panic I would run :

sudo rm -rf /

in an attempt to destroy all of the evidence of the crimes I had not committed.

This thing appears to be working well and I smell I really appreciate the effort that goes into something like this.

I am not much of a programmer. I studied it once at University and failed out. You can see just how bad it really is on Codeberg.

I am however really good at:

  1. Breaking things
  2. trying to do weird stuff
  3. documenting what I did
  4. explaining what I thought would happen
  5. explaining what actually happened

This is important because:

  • not every system is the same and software can behave unexpectedly on someone else's computer
  • "idk this shit dont work" is a shitty bug

^ That horizontal rules!

The only thing that was slightly confusing was knowing when to turn the buttons off. I did have to edit the numbered and bulleted lists once because I toggled the button off too early and it unlisted the last item. Not a bug, every visual editor handles that one differently.

    @fiend_unpleasant this is some good testing and feedback writing, love it.

    Might I suggest trying to turn this excellent post into blog in the edit menu?
