■ 🕑 38. │ 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. │ ├─■ 🕑 39. │ │ 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? │ │ │ └─■ 🕑 40. │ 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. │ └─■ 🕑 41. 1. I can make the box slightly transparent if you'd like; otherwise, maybe some CSS wizard can help out. My CSS-foo is not great and I'm working on figuring this out for future themes.
2. This is a good idea and something I will implement soon.
3. This was attempted on https://0chan.vip (which also isn't fussy about "long lines") and it worked okay but also lead to most of the tags only being used a single time; other tags were abused, sometimes tags were duplicated; it ended up just being too much work to babysit. For now, if you want a specific tag, you can request it, or if I see a lot of threads being created that deserve their own tag, I'll add it. I think the current selection of tags is pretty good.
As a note, "general" tag should be used for any topics that invite more serious discussions, and "random" should be used for more silly or dumb topics. "Life" is for more personal topics or blog-like threads, while "society" is for things like politics, history, religion, philosophy.
