Give the possibility to finish comments later #30

Open ericlebihan opened 11 years ago

ericlebihan commented 11 years ago

Some of our readers use to let long comments, why not let them the possibility to begin a comments and finish it later ? Any possibilities you know ? Local storage ?

LocalStorage is possible but... I have doubts about it, I prefer first throws over deep thoughts. A comment box should remain for adding his 2 bucks only. If the user want to add his 1000 bucks, he could blog about it and mention his post as an answer to ours.

Do you want the readers of les intégristes to write an article when they exceed the length that a comments should have ? Do we have to restrain the number of characters of a comment ?

Do you mean the possibility to edit published comments, or to save a comment draft?

The problem is that we have to save it on the browser (cookie or local storage) commenters have no accounts. It seems hard to provide a solution to start a comment on a smartphone, and finish it on a desktop.

OR… we could use the cookie + a secret code. The secret code (short, 4 chars) fill the comment form with your comment. You could also send yourself the secret code.

Extreme, cool :-) But I think the length of a comment is not always related to its conversion to an article.

But what about displaying a link to the “Contribute” page (yes, we need to discuss this :D – edit: #31) when the comment exceeds a given length? The commenter could judge by itself if the content is worthy enough to be converted to an article.

I think the real problem with long comments is they are not sufficiently highlighted. Currently, comments have a smaller font size, and are italicized. The comments need to be as readable as the article.

OK forget my drawing, we dont need this shitty UI, the email is already needed to write a comment.

Updated drawing:

Yes ! I would see beyond a certain number of characters a message popping :

"Hey, you've just reached the maximum of characters allowed, are you sure you are writing a comment ? What about express your point of view in a wider way into an article for the contribution page ?"

Shall we have a mention "related to the article :link of the article" ?

Yes, and a button, and when you click on it, you are redirected on the contribution page, with the form pre-filled.

Shall we have a mention "related to the article :link of the article" ?

We could just use trackbacks? And highlight internal trackbacks?

That's what I had in mind :-)

Ok for using trackbacks

I think it's a strange idea... If someone want to speak, what's wrong? :) Not good for me.

I think the real problem with long comments is they are not sufficiently highlighted. Currently, comments have a smaller font size, and are italicized. The comments need to be as readable as the article.

I will work on it for the new design... It's a really big priority!

What about having a preview of the comments before posting, like in GitHub? I think it's a really good thing.

Yes, and Markdown => #32
