May I say that Friendica's drag and drop or paste images into the composer is a godsent! Wow this for me is a game changer. To be able to copy paste images (like a quick screenshot) into the composer, or drag and drop images, is fucking essential! How cool!

Next: make a WYSIWYG composer 😃 so that even the most stupid idiots can create awesome long posts, with text formatting and all that 🙃

It started with a WYSIWIG composer (tinymce). People hated it, because it really wasn't WYSIWYG and had a real tough time with code blocks and pre-formatted text. I removed it by popular request and nobody complained. In Friendica's great-grandchild (the streams repository) you can drag and drop all kinds of stuff. spreadsheets, text, maps, phone numbers, music scores, activitypub posts, urls, audio/video/photos, pdfs, svgs and probably a few I forgot. It embeds anything it can find a way to embed - and attaches anything it can't.

I see....I do think that a WYSIWIG composer can be super helpful, something like Wordpress had but more simple. Right now it seems it only works with images but not videos or other files....
