This is a new thing: A type of quick post that doesn't show up on your profile or in notifications. It's in beta, and we have a few adjustments and improvements in the pipeline — but if you have ideas, let me know.

Hi @ben this is a nice feature but what will you do with the URL? This looks like this:

https://dev.to/ben/this-is-a-new-thing-a-type-of-quick-post-that-doesnt-show-up-on-your-profile-or-in-notifications-its-in-beta-and-we-have-a-few-adjustments-and-improvements-in-the-pipeline-but-if-you-have-ideas-let-me-know-3e6a

Are these supposed to be this big?
But I like it, Twitter/X & Bluesky like posts. 😁

Also, if anything seems broken, also let me know. Still experimental. ❤️

Hiya, the textarea element expands when typing. Here's a video: If it helps, I'm on Firefox Developer edition.

Can you say if this same issue exists with comment boxes? Pretty much re-used that code.

It does not. Also, I tried this on Chrome & Firefox and got the same issue.

By the way, I looked around in dev tools and I can see the textarea's height increasing by 1px every time I insert or remove a character.

I have faced a different issue, tested this on Firefox, and Chrome (Stable). I don't see expansion while typing.

Hm. Maybe it's some sort of issue on my end. I'll play around with it later.

I'm not seeing this, but tested on Firefox & Chrome.
Once you enter a second line, and delete some text, text-area remains of expanded width.
Trying backspace, delete or enter doesn't seems to do anything.
