Almost freaked out when I saw this, thought it could be a new VSCode feature.

Turns out, it's a special ligature feature of the Maple Mono font https://font.subf.dev/

@cheeaun this makes me think, I wonder if you could make a font that turns @[email protected] into a pill, I guess it just depends on writing some super regex rules in your font or something
@liaizon you mean in the composer?

@liaizon it's already doable, without a custom font, if the composer is a WYSIWYG editor (X, Threads, Bsky, etc all use it) β€” pretty much allows you to style any chunks of text, though most just have simple styling for links, hashtags, etc.

Phanpy (and Mastodon web too) doesn't use it because WYSIWYG is… 😩
