Improved compose UI features

The new post compose ui (for new threads and for replies to posts) has some improvements today:

you will see a preview of your image if you post with one. For new threads it sticks it where you would see it once posted. For replies, it hangs off the side or top to not take up too much vertical space.

The compose box is generally more vertically compact so we can sticky it to the bottom of the screen when you're writing. This makes it much easier to respond to things upthread, and look them over while writing your response. The sticky behavior is triggered by having non-empty text in the comment box.

This is the first bigger visible feature written by someone other than me. (Another anon wrote an RSS feed a while back). He can dox himself if he likes. We've been hanging out in person doing a little sofiechan hackathon. Lots of stuff getting done. Hopefully more soon. Very exciting. Thanks anon!

Very happy to contribute to a worthwhile project. Hope you all enjoy the feature, and let me know if you run into any issues.

Thanks for making an RSS feed. I was wanting one recently when I was trying to make a notification system for myself.

I setup a basic notification system using ITTT. I’ll let you know how it goes.

The RSS feed was a different anon who may or may not still be reading/around. We’ve had it for at least 6 months but i never announced it i guess. I dont really get RSS so im not even sure it still works.

What’s ITTT?

Oh I see. It’s actually IFTTT, which stands for If This, Then That. It can pull from RSS feeds to do all sorts of integrations. I actually don’t really know that much about it so I don’t know if I set it up right. But I made a basic integration that if there is a new entry in the feed then I get an email.

It worked perfectly. It only gives emails for new posts, not bumps via new replies, but this is actually what I was looking for.

I guess we're going to have to build our own newsletter at some point here. Basically there should be an option on the account page to add an email subscription that notifies you of new posts, or best posts weekly, or something like that. Also DMs. When we add notifications, we can include those too. What do you guys make of that? What would the best possible sofiechan newsletter look like?
