@stefano I said most of this in our DM but wanted to share some enthusiasm publicly 💛
Something to consider: as the options for posts grow (which is truly wonderful) I wonder if it makes sense for all the formatting and post meta options to be revealed after the user clicks on the text box. It is taking up a lot or visual space and might look intimidating to first time users when they see that at the top of their home feed before seeing any posts.
woahhhh!! Visual editor would be clutch for non technical people. On mobile and already loving the [ ] full screen editor.
I love that you can toggle back and forth from Markdown and PREVIEW is the real killer feature. I'm buzzing with excitement (only some of that is the coffee I just has 😂)!
Hola mundo!
Rozando el medio siglo de existencia creía que lo había visto prácticamente todo, no era así.
De vez en cuando, entre toda la miseria que se mueve en este nuestro planeta, surgen iniciativas que te transportan a otras épocas. Unas en las que todo era mucho más sencillo, menos complejo y donde la tecnología era algo comunitario, casi mágico en algunos aspectos.
@stefano ha conseguido con #littlefedi poner de nuevo el foco en lo esencial, en lo simple, en lo eficiente. Volver a tener el software a tu servicio y no al revés.
Larga vida a littlefedi!
@epn4littlefedi
or die fighting for it :-)
he's actually a pretty decent guy. I read somewhere the whole thing is in rememberance of his late brother.
@stefano don't worry, I'll give it a good bashing.
This is my chance and I ain't gonna lose it !!
PS: don't forget the emoji picker 😼

Done - dist/
Not heavily tested and probably still full of bugs, but I just shipped the visual editor build.
Looking forward to your feedback!
When it comes down to clients and littlefedi the worse performance is from tusky, which now refuses to display the server home feed altogether, standard mastodon, moshidon (nightly too) perform well
@kasperd@westergaard.social yes, you can switch from one view to another, or just continue with plain markdown.
I know there are other markup languages, but markdown is more or less the standard in the fediverse, so that's why we decided to support it.
@francois I would love Binface to win and make a mockery of the whole political system. And I tell you what ... he will achieve some of his pre election pledges unlike most of the political class
@francois I'll build and push it here in a few minutes. Not totally stable, yet, but it's worth trying 😉
@stefano I hate to say this, but it looks like you're right (again 😈 )
The markdown headers in my latest post were "eaten" by hometown. I'll file bug report with them, that'll teach them !
Two major intergalactic events are happening this week !
12 Aug: major eclipse
This one has been flogged to death, but I'll say it again: do not watch unless you have ISO 12312-2 glasses. There will be no warning pain: you'll be blind.
13 Aug: Clacton by-election
You're forgiven if you don't know what this all about. A british MP tried to avoid scrutiny by the ad-hoc committee of millions of sterling he received. Since the enquiry stops if he's no longer a MP, he decided to let the people judge and step down, thereby triggering an immediate by-election in his (former) constituency.
What he did not expect was that the other parties wouldn't play his game, so they do not present any candidate. As Tories, Labour and LibDem refuse to play farage's game at the byelection, Count BinFace declares himself up for the job.
I absolutely love this - it can go 2 ways, and both are equally enjoyable:
-
either farage is elected: his gamble failed (even though he won himself some time to hide the evidence) and the parliamentary enquiry resumes
-
or Count BinFace wins and farage looks like an idiot.
In a nutshell, people of Clacton have a choice between the bin or the garbage.
Sit down and pass the popcorn...
PS: for those not familiar with the UK election system, it is customary to have not-so-serious candidates / parties like The Official Monster Raving Loony Party, lead by Screaming Lord Sutch (RIP), today's Alan "Howling Laud" Hope, etc.
Should count BinFace win, we'll see if he makes good on his election pledges, such as capping the price of 99 Flake ice creams at 99p and becoming the UK entry for next year’s Eurovision Song Contest.
