I have some feedback to share here too.
I spent the day yesterday in the garden pruning my plants, and took some before/after photos on my phone and uploaded them to topics on my personal forum. I then went back to the computer periodically to clean up the posts and add more notes. Sometimes I also used the mic to dictate, which also worked remarkably well.
- I’d prefer it if all photos were in a grid by default, even if there’s just one photo. I like to use photos to add meaning to the content, but they don’t need to be displayed full size by default. Sometimes I might like to change an upload to show bigger, but that’s fairly rare.
- on mobile, the experience uploading photos is already cumbersome but it’s made a bit worse when you want a grid because you have to pick the spot in the composer using your finger, remove empty lines, and then find the button to insert the grid on the first image.
- Sometimes uploads fail for whatever reason which makes (3) even more frustrating and time consuming.
- on mobile, navigating between photos feels a bit antiquated, and I have noticed people find it confusing and accidentally lose their place. Could we make it so they fill the whole screen and you can easily pinch and zoom and swipe left and right, like in other apps?
Maybe (1) could be a category setting? When enabled every image is in a grid, and the grid markdown is not needed at all nor the UI for adding it.
