i happened to write a longer comment about ‘folkhögskolor’, an educational forn exclusive to the nordic countries and never mentioned in english-speaking threads i come across. so here, for interest in a real important educational form threatened by obscurity & defunding

since you say this helps
i would put uploading a plaintextfile at number one (1), because webapps (Blorp included) suffer from stuttering and slow keypresses with spotty autosaves in drafts. i mean to say typing can slow to a pace where virtual keyboard input is output into the textbox almost a second later (on my old ARM7 phone with LineageOS to let me continue do all the things without buying another phone every year.) so using an external texteditor of my choice to write a plaintext file, then i manually start Blorb, then i manually click post & a new button that says “read from plaintext file”; i figure this way is the least effort for devs, since i imagine programming a prompt to open external editors when publishing a post and then passing that data once the texteditor exits would be way too big of a detour to make. so nr1 request for me is: Blorb read a textfile to fill a post instead of me needing to type into the webapp.
second would be my getting to manually add posts to the “do not show read posts” setting’s list. swipe away posts in the feed to the side, instead of as now needing to wonder what the automatic process for marking a post as read and no longer to be shown is. i’d dig manual way - me swiping the post to the side - being the event to exclude posts from my feed. to not go through all the posts… means less time & mental energy for me spent scrolling and clicking in on posts or voting then reloading voting reloading… reloading so often is like pulling a slot machine on the mind to me and it takes some suspenseful time. i’d rather just swipe away posts to exclude without having to, as typed above, reload after waiting for automatic marking of posts to somewhy happen. it’s a bit vague as is rn.
third would be these links you already have a great thing planned out for!
thanks for Blorb, take a calm day and be well
Sorry for the late reply. Can you try something? Instead of using Blorps rich text editor, try switching it to the raw markdown editor. I suspect that will have better performance for you.
sure! trying it right now. it is snappier and a consistent amount of input delayed (somewhere below half a second afaict)
