 ✨ Feedback wanted! Composing a new post on :pixelfed: is a core feature and could use some improvements. We're building a new compose experience and want your feedback! Let us know how we can improve our current compose experience, and any features you'd like to see. ➡️ Boosts greatly appreciated! #pixelfed 17 comments
@pixelfed Let us explain the new experience in detail. To start, the new compose UI supports drag-n-drop and more media types by default. Hello HEIC, and iPhone users 👋 Review your new post with ease. Add the perfect caption with the improved rich text editor. Or any location, without limitations. ✅ Emoji picker + Custom Emoji ✅ Hashtag suggestions ✅ Tag any location ✅ Accessibility checklist reminder ✅ Forgot a photo? Drag and drop, no matter what step. Don't forget to take advantage of the advanced settings too! ✅ Disable comments ✅ Pick a creative commons license ✅ Manage media EXIF data and preserve ICC profile and other field ✅ Schedule for later ✅ Add the post to a collection or multiple collections And more! Available soon 🚀 @tommi JPEG-XL is on our roadmap don't worry! In order to support HEIC, webp, AVIF, JPEG-XL and other new formats we need to carefully refactor the MediaPipeline and APIs. Without introducing bugs and/or breaking support for other formats. And we need to generate a fallback copy in a widely supported format like jpeg/png for older clients. In a way that doesn't break the web UI, APIs (mobile apps) or federation (other projects). It's a bit more complicated than adding a mime type to config  I completely understand! It is a long, complex and itchy process indeed, but I cannot wait since JPEG XL is SO AWESOME! Speaking of roadmap, did you ever consider making a public one, so that sponsors, admins and users can actively follow Pixelfed’s development process? @pixelfed Creating a Story doesn't work at all. Picture is gone after taping "Next" on the preview, dropping me back to the main timeline. @pixelfed  @pixelfed My typical workflow is to take a raw photo with a real camera, develop and process it in Luminar or Affinity Photo, scale it to generate the target .jpg and finally add the finished photo to Pixelfed. So most of the features don't matter to me, the old way of composing a post was mostly OK. Adding multiple photos was unintuitive and slow, it would be nice if that improved. @pixelfed when adding more than one photo to a post, the ability to reorder them independently from upload order. |

@pixelfed I miss the + button in the new layout. It's hidden in the menu. The old ui said: "Go upload a picture!"
