mwanji / essayist Goto Github PK

When reading an essay, there is a link to the essay that sits to the right of the title. In Firefox, the icon reads as follows which I believe is a hex code for something that it can't display:

26
93

basic bootstrap isn't optimal for this typeface, just increasing line-height in css up to, idunno, 150% (i may edit that number later) will drastically increase readability.

if anything, a small selection of fonts (like in instapaper) would be a huge plus.

This is exposed through /posts/:post_id/versions

Offer a draft checkbox.

When checked, Essay is made private and stored as Markdown.
If necessary, a custom flag is added to the JSON content.
When unchecked, it is made public.

Drafts are available in nav bar.

Just display the HTML, as Markdown accepts embedded HTML.

Nav:
My Feed: gets posts from current user's timeline, with post_type Essay
Site Feed: gets essays from known users

Essay items:
Like a Status

Offer a configuration option to toggle between multi- and single-user.

Single-user offers shorter URLs and only that user can post.

unicode text is scrambled. Here is an example: http://essayist.mndj.me/vrypan.tent.is/essay/be6q3l
The characters in the title and body (in the parenthesis) should be Greek, but are scrambled. This is usually the case with unicode text treated as ASCII at some point in the code.

If logged in, favour essays by followings.

Replies to a Post can be retrieved using mentioned_post querystring param on /posts.

URLs should be:

/<entity>/essays
/<entity>/essay/<id>
/essay/new

https entities should have no prefix.
http entities should have prefix h:

Currently, essays are being fetched remotely twice: once for the essay list and once for the single essay view. This is slow. The JS History API could be used to speed this up:

• Embed the essay body into the HTML, since it has already been fetched
• Handle clicks to change the URL and hide the other essays without reloading the page

If the logged in user is following the requested entity, then use the user's credentials to retrieve all available posts.

After I bookmark an essay, I expect the bookmark button to reflect the new status.

If I click THAT button, I expect my bookmark to be removed.

When reposting something, I've come to expect that the app will make sure I want to: "Do you want to repost Spilt Milk by einat?"

Essayist does not do this.

Should request a new authorisation.

Especially at tablet/phone sizes, the avatars are huge.

After I favorite an essay, I expect the favorite button to reflect the new status.

If I click THAT button, I expect my favorite to be removed.

The font used for Essayist posts is distracting.

Each time I come to read an essay, instead of focusing on the content and reading, I can't stop looking at the font. I humbly suggest something more bland and less ornate.

I plan to have a huge number of "essays" that are living documents for current projects that I am working on. I don't want anyone else in the world to see these (until I DO want someone else to see them).

This proposal is simply to allow the private post flag to be set to true on an essay.

Replies to comments should show up under the Essay.

Could be title + URL. URL takes precedence for space considerations.

This is to prevent JavaScript in an essay from hijacking the user's session.
