Imagine paywalling a free feature Facepunch had almost 20 years ago
 
@Null I know you said you're still making improvements to the system, so I'd like to suggest something.

On Amazon, if you tap a review image, it brings up a truncated portion of the review text (user, title, body, etc.) as a transparent overlay.



If it's within the realm of possibility, I think it would be cool to have a similar feature, where tapping or clicking on the image overlays the original post text. It would be nice to be able to have additional context for the media without needing to navigate away from the media library view.

Here's my quick and dirty mock-up to show what I mean.

 
Minor weirdness, not sure if it's fixable. Sometimes the gallery shows multiple images from the same post out of order. A current example is media from this USPG2 post, which has 4 screenshots of a long tweet:

1777989499399.png

They appear in order in the post, but in the gallery they show left to right in order 1, 4, 2, 3. Other media from the same post, that appeared previous to these, appear after the tweet screenshots, suggesting that the newest media should be to the left (4, 3, 2, 1).

It's likely these are being shown in gallery in the order they were attached to the post, not the order they are visibly positioned to the post. (I frequently mismatch that when I make a post, then delete and re-do a screenshot.) Depending on how you do timestamps, that might be too annoying to compensate for such a small issue.

I have plans for abstracting media out of just attachments into its own thing. There's various reasons I want to do this. So, yes, I agree.

This is the order they were uploaded in. There's not much I can do to present them in the order they're shown in with posts.

Josh, just out of curiosity, I'm working on a lot of projects that I'm gonna get paid a good chunk of change. How much would it cost to get? Voice chat and integration. Not that it's necessary, I'm just wondering.
For as well as developing. A specific iPhone. version. I have very callous fingers from working in construction. And trying to use Google Chrome on my phone is annoying.

why do you type like you are literally brain damaged

I have less than zero intention to add VoIP. VoIP is a degrading force for communities.
 
Very nice :wow: HOWEVER
Is there any practically of having an account option to automatically unspoiler media?
I don't suffer from a weak constitution and my carpal tunnel syndrome resents the extra clicks.
