I have a suggestion for Bonfire: @BonfireBuilders #bonfire_feedback The user interface seems to suggest that I want to do serial posting most of the time, which I think should not really be encouraged.So after I push the "post" button, instead of showing me the result of my labor, bonfire shows a toast message with a link that would lead me there.My sense is that posting something should show me what I sent out into the world immediately, as others will see it. Because the composition and display can be quite different, you will spot typos etc. Also probably I want to see if somebody is reacting to what I posted.Just keeping me at the post composition makes it look like I should just keep posting, without concern for feedback.

Definitely, yes. Please put us back into the feed after we post.
are you talking specifically about using the page at /write (like when you click share feedback)? or also the composer in the sidebar?
I'm confused.I haven't clicked <Share feedback> at all so, no, not that one. But is there a composer in the sidebar? Not in my sidebar, i think.The only composer I've seen - writing a new post or replying to one - is a damn big one that occupies far more screen than it needs to do - 50% of the browser window area - with acres of white space, running down to the bottom of the browser window ( meaning that the drop-down menu on the <Public> button runs off the bottom of the window and is unreadable and inaccessible - if anything in fact lives there in the drop-down, apart from 'Public'). I would be very satisfied with a small composer in a sidebar, similar to Mastodon.btw, what's the character limit on a post? Are they limitless? O dear 🙄
Oh, are you on mobile?
I'm on Firefox under MacOS
There are many different views from which I can write a post. Now I am replying to your post from my notifications. When I hit "Post" I'm not seeing my post in context, I just get a Toast with a link to it.Same from the main timeline view, and the /write view.
@Dragan_Espenschied @BonfireBuilders @barefoot_doc @LibertyBeta @dajbelshaw @ivan right, and my assumption is that of those 3 places, only the /write page "makes it look like I should just keep posting", no? if you're in your main feed what you posted does get added to the top, same if you're replying in a thread or message, guess I'm just worried of loosing context if a redirect is triggered...
@barefoot_doc uhm It seems to me that you are asking for the opposite of what @Dragan_Espenschied suggested? or am I misunderstanding?@LibertyBeta @dajbelshaw @BonfireBuilders
Yeah. Fire and see, not fire and fire again.
