#Wishlist for 2020 ?
@design_RG
I would like to see what this screenshot shows:
A post with RICH text formatting, here in Geoff's post a Quoted block, but GlitchSoc does support full MarkDown tags in Toots text.
Things like Bold, Italicized, Underlined text . Underlined links if desired - and more.
Web Clients that, like Pinafore already (see screenshot) support displaying this RICH formatting. Yes, Pinafore is awesome, thank you Nolan!
Pinafore's homepage is : https://pinafore.social
GlitchSoc is advanced, cutting edge Mastodon development. See it at : https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/
or in person at an instance near you.
Screenshot below shows Geoff's post at Hackers Town -- https://hackers.town , which runs GlitchSoc.
But, wait - won't this BREAK in other Mastodon instances? Display UGLY formatting marks in line with the text? Nope.
See in a minute a screen shot of This post (pretty, here in GlitchSoc) as shown (Plain Jane) in a normal Masto instance. (kind of a let down, but no damage done)
Your message was seen here in a Pleroma node with full formating intact, and looks much nicer than plain text indeed.
As we go into the message editor in Pleroma, you have a choice of how your text will be formatted or not.
Plain text as in the dead elephant nodes.
HTML Markup code for any enhancement you want.
MarkDown, which does most of the same, much easier to use.
And BBCode — which for years was used in Forums and is similarly friendly.
Choices. Amazing. This is a new account, I had never been in a Pleroma node, and it is a very pleasant experience so far.
Ah —- No freeking Pesky 500 character max limit here. 65,555 when I started this message.
Still got 64,700 left, if I fancied writing a mini novel. :agummywink:
@Yann @rgx
Your reply shows here stripped of it's formatting (which I can see at Hackers Town, since GlitchSoc supports it).
Man, I had seen people making jokes about using a cat designed platform (Pleroma) versus a dead elephant species one, and they got some good points.
Seems rather Fossilized here when we can't get an instance admin to make an edit in their configuration -- to allow mroe than the dumb 500 characters Toot size limit.
Never mind Text Formatting. And other niceties that Pleroma seems to offer.
