1. I want posts to look good by default in "tree mode"; long lines don't look good. Auto-line breaking doesn't always look good. 2. By default, I want white-space to be preserved -- this is useful when sharing ASCII art, code chunks, poetry, etc. It's also the way old email, USENET threads, and text-sharing used to be online. And it worked! 3. The standard of well-formatted posts really pisses off zoomers and phone posters... 4. ... but if you want or need "long lines" for some reason, you can manually override the filter by checking the "LL" (long line) box next to the "Post comment" button. (Wow, look at how beautiful that list is!) Maybe in the future, I'll have a "format post" checkbox set by default at the bottom that breaks up long lines. For now, I don't think most people have any real issue with it. When you're writing a longer post, just hit "enter" when your sentence is nearing the edge of the post box, exactly like one hits the "carriage return" before going to the edge of a page when using a type writer. The software at ayashii.net , which this project takes inspiration from, originally also had an anti-long-line feature before the heyuriteens disabled it because teens kept complaining. Maybe 2channel also yelled at people for writing long lines, but I can't remember.... This innocent little tripwire also gives you a chance to reread your post before submitting it, which I think's helpful -- not planning to allow people to edit or delete their own messages, ever. |

Actually, the long line problems are a pesk to resolve manually. I guess I can take it into account with my writing style. But everyone and their mom uses an automatic word wrap. Why doesn't this software? |

Here are a few changes I'm requesting. 1. For me the navigation box hovers the thread so there's some text I can't read. Maybe move it to a sidebar at the right hand side. 2. Dynamic page titles based on the subject of the thread, the tag name, etc. This cleans up the history. I think when you're viewing a reply it's good to have the title be based on the content in case there is no subject. 3. Dynamic tag creation. Let people type whatever tags they want in a space-separated list and have it propose autocompletes based on existing tags. |

Things I want to add later: - sage - message trimming/cleaning - atom feeds - better tag engine What do you want to see added? Youtube embed? Images? Are there any tags "missing" (eg: anime, books, conspiracy theories) ? I'm all ears! |
