I was editing a post and decided to edit the title too, so I clicked the title and edited it and then clicked outside it.
But then when the title saved (I saw the toast message) the body editor closed and discarded all the edits I'd made to the body. So when I went back to ••• → Edit the changes I'd made were gone. I was surprised because I remember in the past I've tried refreshing the page while making changes and it remembered my unsaved edits.
A moment after this displays the body editor disappears.
I tried the refreshing experiment again and it too discards my edits (without a warning). Perhaps something broke recently in the editor draft saving?
I just noticed in my browser there's some React errors when loading the page:
Here are the URLs from the screenshot (for convenience):
It's probably not a serious issue, but I have noticed some other scroll jank when loading a page (it scrolls to the top sometimes), so there's a remote chance it could be related to something like this.
I noticed most buttons have a hover state, but this one missed out 🥺
Rapidly clicking between these tabs causes an error to happen:
In the bottom I see these pop up.
I just created a post and then it says at the top that it's viewed 0 times which seems weird because I'm literally viewing the page, so maybe it should either just be omitted until there's at least a few views, or say "viewed 1 time".
I've run into this a couple of times when I'm searching for a question on the community. I type in my question and then often edit the text to see if rephrasing my question gets better results. It looks like something strange is happening where the page tries to update its location more than 100 times in 10 seconds and Safari blocks the page.
I'm sure I'm not typing 100 characters in 10 seconds so I'm guessing it's a problem with application logic.
You can see that the text overlaps the code block:
And in this one the paragraph overlaps the list.
I took a screen recording of it happening:
I've seen this a few times where I see <source> in the AI answers.
In the editor when there's only text and I do ⌘+a the text looks highlighted:
But when I put an image in the editor and do ⌘+a the text doesn't look highlight anymore:
Interestingly though, this is only a problem if the last node in the editor is not a paragraph. If I put an empty paragraph at the end then ⌘+a has the highlighting again.
I just made a post but when I look at my Contributions it shows an old post from 6 months ago instead of the one I just made a few minutes ago. I tried finding it in my notifications list but no one has engaged with it yet so it wasn't in that list either.
I think if the items in Contributions were sorted by date descending that would be enough.
Hey folks just noticed this on Hall community that in dark mode I can see some white fringing around the rounded corners on the Hall logo.
The little spinner is cute but it's off-centre and looks a bit wobbly. I tried to get a screen recording of it but it was too fast so I've just put in a screenshot instead.
I noticed something a bit weird when searching for an answer. When I type a long search query and I get no results it says "Continue typing to find an answer from over …", but I feel like because my query is so long that typing more will get me less results, so it's strange for it to tell me to continue typing. Usually the more you type the smaller the result set, so when my results are empty I assume I've reached a dead end.
So at this point I can press the ↑ button and it takes me to basically the same page but with different text:
And then I need to click New post.
It's a bit of a paper cut but since it's in a core workflow.
I'm using dark mode and I noticed that the gap cursor (the horizontal cursor) is black but the normal native cursor is white. You can get the gap cursor by inserting an image and then pressing down arrow a few times to move your cursor to the end of the document.
This little black line is the gap cursor.
I think there might be an issue with the reaction button styling on dark mode. I found it confusing trying to understand if I've already reacted to a post or not
Here's what it looks like when I haven't reacted:
And here's what it looks like when I have reacted:
Compare that to Github, again first when I haven't reacted:
And when I have reacted:
Personally I find Github's styling much more obvious.
The mouse hover states in Hall are also a bit weird too.
There's some baked-in padding on @mentions that looks a bit funky when combined with a normal spacebar space:
It looks a bit funky, and I'm tempted to delete my white spaces but if I do that then the document semantically will be weird and probably render oddly if you save to HTML or Markdown.
I uploaded a few images and only noticed later the Set description box in the bottom corner. At first I thought it was something in my screenshot, but then later I saw it was a button that I could click. Maybe if the button only showed while the image is being hovered it would be more obvious that it's not part of the image.
Super minor nit-pick, but the padding on the emoji picker is pretty big compared to other dropdowns in the product:
It looks like maybe there's an overflow: hidden for the post and the hover card overflows it and has its left border cropped off?
edit: I've edited this post to include a few different problems I found, hope that's okay!
I was searching to find one of my old posts, and I clicked on the result and the results disappeared but the page didn't navigate. I played around with it for a bit and thought it was related to clicking on the blank area (instead of the text), but after testing it some more it just seems like it's consistently broken now.
Here's what I mean:
When I click it the results disappear but the page doesn't navigate (I tested in Safari and Chrome).
---
There's another problem that if you click in the input while the search results are open, the results disappear and if you type more text the results don't show again until you click in the text box again, I did it when I was clicking to move my cursor in the text to change my query, and got very confused. It seems like it's implemented as "toggle on click" behaviour rather than whether the input is focused.
---
A similar issue happens when pressing space bar, but pressing any other key seems to pop the results again.
---
I think titles aren't being indexed, and it's only the content? When I search for Editor gap I don't get any results, even though you can see below that there's a post with that title. Perhaps you're only indexing the body of the post and not prepending the title to the document that's searched?
btw: if you're using postgres's ts_vector you can set different rankings based on the part of the document, so you can make the heading rank higher than the body (see https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/textsearch-controls.html#TEXTSEARCH-PARSING-DOCUMENTS with setweight(…, 'A')
---
Another issue is that in dark mode the hover styling for text in a result doesn't have very high contrast. The title text in particular looks very feint.
---
Sometimes the results just show an empty short box with nothing inside it, sometimes the box fills with results, sometimes it just hangs and doesn't update.
It would be useful to see who reacted to a post to see who has common interests in particular topics. I'd expect to be able to hover on the reaction and see who reacted, e.g.
It might be because the items that I'm getting the notification for have been deleted.
I noticed on some pages this does work, but on the main list page it doesn't. It would be helpful to be able to hover the date text (e.g. "10 hours ago") and see the actual date.
I love the big green box to indicate which answer is accepted as the solution, but I find it a bit disorientating when there are two green boxes on the one screen, my mind jumps to thinking there are two answers, but they're actually the same thing. I think it might be better if only the top "shortcut" box was bright green, and then the "in context" box had a more subtle indicator instead.
Obviously when I read the content of the two messages and then compare the text I jump to the conclusion that they're the same message, but it would still be nice if the UI didn't give me the confusion in the first place.
