This is a new thing: A type of quick post that doesn't show up on your profile or in notifications. It's in beta, and we have a few adjustments and improvements in the pipeline — but if you have ideas, let me know.

Hi @ben this is a nice feature but what will you do with the URL? This looks like this:
https://dev.to/ben/this-is-a-new-thing-a-type-of-quick-post-that-doesnt-show-up-on-your-profile-or-in-notifications-its-in-beta-and-we-have-a-few-adjustments-and-improvements-in-the-pipeline-but-if-you-have-ideas-let-me-know-3e6aAre these supposed to be this big?
But I like it, Twitter/X & Bluesky like posts. 😁
Good call on the url, we’ll truncate this.
What type of PR is this? (check all applicable)
Description
Truncate super long slugs for use with quickies.
Amazing! : )
Also, if anything seems broken, also let me know. Still experimental. ❤️
Hi Ben,
This sounds like an interesting feature, thanks for developing the platform further.
I have a small issue: all my quickie posts so far ended up becoming full posts.
Repro Steps:
Expected: the post shows up in the list I get to when I click [ Show quickie posts ]
Actual: the post shows up in the full posts list and the quickie posts list is empty
The following are three posts I've created this way. The last one is a very short one, thought maybe it's because of the length ...
Thanks a lot!
Ah okay.
I think this is the issue:
Quickie posts can only be created from the home page above the feed. Everything else is a full post. I can see how this is confusing — especially in the context of doing it from the dashboard and we will adjust the design.
Thank you for pointing this out!
Ah ok, didn't know this was the only way. It works, thanks a lot for the quick reply!
We'll make changes to fix the confusion though. Very very helpful you pointed that out.
Hiya, the textarea element expands when typing. Here's a video: If it helps, I'm on Firefox Developer edition.
Can you say if this same issue exists with comment boxes? Pretty much re-used that code.
It does not. Also, I tried this on Chrome & Firefox and got the same issue.
By the way, I looked around in dev tools and I can see the textarea's height increasing by 1px every time I insert or remove a character.
Thanks, will figure this out.
I have faced a different issue, tested this on Firefox, and Chrome (Stable). I don't see expansion while typing.
Hm. Maybe it's some sort of issue on my end. I'll play around with it later.
Yup, I've got the same issue. I also do not have it with the comment boxes. I'm using Opera 114.
Same here!
I'm not seeing this, but tested on Firefox & Chrome.
Once you enter a second line, and delete some text, text-area remains of expanded width.
Trying backspace, delete or enter doesn't seems to do anything.
