happy wednesday! we’re still working on tipping and other big stuff, but we managed to get a few nice changes out this week alongside those.
- we finally got a chance to overhaul the alt text interface in the post composer to be easier to use
- death to the small, sometimes invisible text box. now is the time of Dialog Box With An Expanding Text Field.
- redesigning the alt text interface has been on our list since very shortly after the original alt text interface went live, 14 months ago
- we did some restructuring in the post composer for audio posts that made it easier to address this
- the drafts view is now paginated
- you can finally revisit your 21st-most-recent post that you decided wasn’t good enough to post. it’s probably had enough time to marinate.
- you can no longer silence drafts
- previously, this would send them to the shadow realm, never to return
- although i guess this was a good way to clear them out before pagination. much to think about.
- fixed a bug where the emoji picker could hang off the screen on small devices
- some behind the scenes work
- tech debt to update to a newer version of node and remove some old infrastructure that we hadn’t used in almost a year
- a big chunk of operations work we’d been putting off
that’s all for this week! more big work in progress but we’re trying to work in smaller things so the site doesn’t get stale. thanks for using cohost! 

Loving the new alt text tool! Thank you very much
