draft select text

Noticed that recs in draft it’s challenging to select all text, seems limited to a word. or maybe it’s my clammy fingers. works fine here. recently in my drafts and i was only to select a word, makes it hard to delete a whole section of words rather than one by one or worse back spacing it all.

BEING A BUG CATCHER

1. When you open a draft rec or any long rec you’ve written, there’s a white gap at the bottom, probably for iOS safe space, but the corners can be used for something else, and you can make the top of the white space transparent and the bottom opaque to show that there’s long text below. 2. When you open the keyboard the available text area is insanely small. There’s still an empty white gap below text field, very challenging to make long recs. (My rec would be, once keyboard opens, make the rec title a smaller font and if the user types past the visually available text field, make the top scrollable rather than fixed. remove the excess white space. Move ‘replying to ask:…’ to the right of the icon image and link selector. They are static so it just makes sense space wise) 3. If you go to add an icon to a draft rec, often times taping the emoji won’t work. Instead I open the image bottom drawer, and close it, beneath it the emoji selector will appear. 4. when starting a new rec, you can get the emoji drawer to show, but if you search and select you emoji post text search, the emoji doesn’t select and you have to tap again. 5. Finally, I’ve noticed that spellcheck on this thing is wacky as hell. When a new sentence starts it will decapitalize the word, or sometimes insert words that make no sense.
All that said, I love this app to pieces. thank u

BEING KIND TO KIDS

I’m not a parent and do not plan to be. Kids can wear me out fast with their high energy and noise level; it leaves me very over-stimulated. But it’s pretty extreme when people say they ”hate kids” and I often feel it’s a reflection of their childhood and beliefs around how kids “should be.” That they were expected to be quiet, obedient, and out of the way by their parents when they were little.
It’s fucking hard to be a kid. You’re dealing with a rapidly-changing body and underdeveloped brain, managed by flawed adults who are enforcing boundaries that you do not understand. It’s confusing and hard to manage your feelings and honestly just a lot.
People are impatient with kids when they‘re brand new to the world and figuring it all out, and this is a time kids need a friend the most. Children can also be teachers to adults with how they are less habituated to the world. They teach us how to be free and open-hearted and silly and imaginative.
A good practice is to be kinder and gentler with kids. If that feels difficult, start with gentleness toward your inner child. Maybe that’s the child in your life that needs your attention and kindness most.

I meant to post this yesterday. Absolutely beautiful morning for walk.
This morning is also beautiful but in a spring rain kind of way.
