For those using the mastodon.social web app, there's been an update to one of #Mastodon's core features, the compose form! Been working on it since end of November last year, so really excited to finally bring it to light. More is to come. Let me know how you like it!

@Gargron you know what's missing is a Gif button that opens Tenor or giphy gif with a search or something. Anyway I wait for it on Glitch my eyes can't take the white anymore with the pure dark theme on my 2000 nit TV. Keep up the good work

@Gargron Here's when I see. Looks like it's positioned -20 pixels from the left edge of the window. Yay CSS!

While I'm whining, the Notifications tab recently started updating asynchronously, ignoring the setting that says not to do that.

@Gargron

Looks very nice!

Question: what is "quiet public"?

@Gargron Looking good, Eugen, quite pleasant looking on my phone.

How does one go about accessing the mastodon.social web app?

@OlDude82 You will eventually see these updates when Mastodon 4.3 comes out and your provider mstdn.party updates to it.

@Gargron I don't know what this means, but I appreciate the work. I will seek out this new functionally.

@Gargron What I'm really waiting for is the ability to read AltText with my smartphone in the browser. I always have to switch to an app. It works on the PC, it works in Tusky...when will it work in the browser? 🥺

@Gargron good stuff now we need some further rounded avatar borders like your official mobile app and maybe a darker dark mode option to further match without custom css pls :catbug_sip:

@Gargron it's nice that I no longer am blinded typing in a post while the rest of the site is in dark mode XD Much appreciated, thank you

@Gargron Nice that the Publish button is full width, although as I started this reply I noticed the Reply button is not which is a strange UX. Also, good call to have the textarea follow the theme (it'll be annoying for a while cause it's "different", but I know it's better).
Just wanted to ask about the reasoning behind moving and labeling the privacy and language post settings?
(in the Publish UI there's space to have the language and privacy settings as icons in between the emoji and counter)

@Gargron I think the changes to the compose form look quite nice. More intuitive and better light/dark theme consistency. Keep up the good work 👍 .

@Gargron I like it, and I think the search function has been improved?

Either way, "Post" should say "Toot". I will never waver on this

@Gargron I noticed straight away and I like it!

@Gargron Great! 😠 It was already impossible to add an alt-text on my iPod Touch but now I also can’t choose an emoticon anymore. #fail #pleasefixthis

pancake :verified:

@Gargron a before-after screenshot would be helpful for those who don’t use that instance 🙏 but i think i’ve seen it in the comments and it looks quite good!
