i happened to write a longer comment about ‘folkhögskolor’, an educational forn exclusive to the nordic countries and never mentioned in english-speaking threads i come across. so here, for interest in a real important educational form threatened by obscurity & defunding

I get something abursting AI bubble.
Edit: I see you answered @ “no stupid questions”. A bit elaborate this way…
yes it’s a comment i wrote out in a post that was more than a bit irrelevant to what i was writing out.
wdym with the edit about an answer from me in no stupid questions?
edit: oh i see now. yes the Blorp app for piefed is what i’m using and it’s links are a mess. i just clicked “share link to comment” !
Blorp dev here. Linking to comments specifically are a bit broken. Links to posts work better. I’ll see if I can fix that, sorry.
Potentially, I was thinking about adding a special share link that looks like:
blorpblorp.xyz/share/…That link would promp the user if they want to continue in Blorp or view on the original/their own instance.
you’re doing great and i appreciate Blorp as is! no pressure to fix this specific thing
cool of you to reply! sorry for any negative emotions my public complaining caused, i wouldn’t have wanted to complain like this i realize after feeling how it felt to see that you’ve read this
i think the idea of choosing whether or not to continue in the blorp webapp is cool but not a dealbreaker by any means. take care and have a good day, thanks for actually making a client for piefed & lemmy and sharing it at all
sorry again! I’ll reconsider how i word my critique going forward, because i genuinely feel remorseful now
Please don’t apologize! I can tell you are a nice person. Though I can’t make promises, a top 3 list of things you would add/fix is always helpful. If enough people ask for something specific, it becomes more likely that it will be added. Improvements to post/comment sharing is a pretty comment request, so that will happen eventually.
since you say this helps
i would put uploading a plaintextfile at number one (1), because webapps (Blorp included) suffer from stuttering and slow keypresses with spotty autosaves in drafts. i mean to say typing can slow to a pace where virtual keyboard input is output into the textbox almost a second later (on my old ARM7 phone with LineageOS to let me continue do all the things without buying another phone every year.) so using an external texteditor of my choice to write a plaintext file, then i manually start Blorb, then i manually click post & a new button that says “read from plaintext file”; i figure this way is the least effort for devs, since i imagine programming a prompt to open external editors when publishing a post and then passing that data once the texteditor exits would be way too big of a detour to make. so nr1 request for me is: Blorb read a textfile to fill a post instead of me needing to type into the webapp.
second would be my getting to manually add posts to the “do not show read posts” setting’s list. swipe away posts in the feed to the side, instead of as now needing to wonder what the automatic process for marking a post as read and no longer to be shown is. i’d dig manual way - me swiping the post to the side - being the event to exclude posts from my feed. to not go through all the posts… means less time & mental energy for me spent scrolling and clicking in on posts or voting then reloading voting reloading… reloading so often is like pulling a slot machine on the mind to me and it takes some suspenseful time. i’d rather just swipe away posts to exclude without having to, as typed above, reload after waiting for automatic marking of posts to somewhy happen. it’s a bit vague as is rn.
third would be these links you already have a great thing planned out for!
thanks for Blorb, take a calm day and be well
Yes ,X links and stuff won’t always work as you want to. Always good to check it after posting it.
