This week I’m focusing on some small long-standing, quality-of-life issues that have plagued Write.as / WriteFreely for years. Today, it was adding a Markdown preview to the Plain Text editor (issue T519), which was brought up again on the forum after the feature stalled for years. [...]

@julian yeah, just for Notes, not Articles. I'm wondering if I should just leave `name` empty for Notes to prevent that. Especially not sure how anything besides Mastodon handles it.
@kariboka in theory sure, but it also took about 7 years for decent Article / long-form text support in Mastodon 😅 so this is just quickest for now. It does also fix something we needed to do anyway, which was exclude markup from titles. So all good.

@thisismissem @smallcircles I'm not sure... This only applies to the `Note` type, not `Article`. On Mastodon, Article titles always show up fine.

But also don't think it looks too bad by manually adding the title to the body of the Note, like if you pull this post up in Masto: https://matt.writefreely.dev/note-title-fix-test

Note title fix test

This uses the fixes in writefreely#1491 to see if our post title shows up in our little Note that gets sent out to the fediverse. Let’s s...

Matt's Dev Log

Just opened a PR for this: https://github.com/writefreely/writefreely/pull/1491

It ends up putting us in compliance with the ActivityStreams spec, too, by making sure no markup is included in the `name` property.
