When trying to edit something I have in Draft, itās difficult (even impossible) to select more than a single word to cut/paste. I like to be able to save some recs for later but right now thatās just not an easy option. Iām an iPhone user on iOS 18.
Noticed that recs in draft itās challenging to select all text, seems limited to a word. or maybe itās my clammy fingers. works fine here. recently in my drafts and i was only to select a word, makes it hard to delete a whole section of words rather than one by one or worse back spacing it all.
1. When you open a draft rec or any long rec youāve written, thereās a white gap at the bottom, probably for iOS safe space, but the corners can be used for something else, and you can make the top of the white space transparent and the bottom opaque to show that thereās long text below.
2. When you open the keyboard the available text area is insanely small. Thereās still an empty white gap below text field, very challenging to make long recs. (My rec would be, once keyboard opens, make the rec title a smaller font and if the user types past the visually available text field, make the top scrollable rather than fixed. remove the excess white space. Move āreplying to ask:ā¦ā to the right of the icon image and link selector. They are static so it just makes sense space wise)
3. If you go to add an icon to a draft rec, often times taping the emoji wonāt work. Instead I open the image bottom drawer, and close it, beneath it the emoji selector will appear.
4. when starting a new rec, you can get the emoji drawer to show, but if you search and select you emoji post text search, the emoji doesnāt select and you have to tap again.
5. Finally, Iāve noticed that spellcheck on this thing is wacky as hell. When a new sentence starts it will decapitalize the word, or sometimes insert words that make no sense. All that said, I love this app to pieces. thank u
would love to be able to select more than 1 word @ a time when writing a rec on the app!!!!! iām nothing if not indecisive.. what am i without easy editing
Iām not a parent and do not plan to be. Kids can wear me out fast with their high energy and noise level; it leaves me very over-stimulated. But itās pretty extreme when people say they āhate kidsā and I often feel itās a reflection of their childhood and beliefs around how kids āshould be.ā That they were expected to be quiet, obedient, and out of the way by their parents when they were little. Itās fucking hard to be a kid. Youāre dealing with a rapidly-changing body and underdeveloped brain, managed by flawed adults who are enforcing boundaries that you do not understand. Itās confusing and hard to manage your feelings and honestly just a lot. People are impatient with kids when theyāre brand new to the world and figuring it all out, and this is a time kids need a friend the most. Children can also be teachers to adults with how they are less habituated to the world. They teach us how to be free and open-hearted and silly and imaginative. A good practice is to be kinder and gentler with kids. If that feels difficult, start with gentleness toward your inner child. Maybe thatās the child in your life that needs your attention and kindness most.
