Some things are new on One Post Wonder today:

  1. Follow Fridays! This is very simple: on Friday, the "suggested topic" is always "who else should your friends follow on One Post Wonder?" and there's a little "Follow Friday" indicator. When posting, consider using the little-person icon, which is a handy way to mention someone in your post. It is my hope that this will help people who show up with just one or two connections and never really get "plugged in" beyond that. 
  2. By popular request, the header bar now stays with you as you scroll, even on phones. But I am interested in feedback from folks who may have been happier the other way. Let's see how this goes.
  3. Numbered lists (as you may be noticing).
  4. Strikethrough (as you may be noticing).
  5. The plaintext versions of important emails like account confirmation emails have working URLs in them. This is important to my fellow nerds people who for various valid reasons loathe HTML email, and possibly other corner cases.
  6. When you paste a URL into your text and OPW makes a nice little presentation block out of it, the URL field gets populated right away.
  7. The "bug report" icon is only available to logged-in users now. Which means no more spam for me to sort through. Which means I will pay better attention to your bug reports. w00t.

What would you like to see? What do you think would help the platform reach more people for the right reasons?

I would like it if when I made posts "public" to OPW, I could also keep them "private" from showing up in search engines. That was one LJ feature I truly miss. It was a way for Journal users to find and add me, without random google searches splashing me and all my thoughts on the wall. Does that make any sense? Or should I just be resigned to such things?
Well, a flag to make it a "noindex" post is possible, but I'm concerned about the people who will expect this to be more than it is, in terms of blocking tools that don't care about such niceties, or people who are already stalking their journal for public posts.
I guess I'm saying I'm open to suggestions on the wording.
Wouldn't the simple solution be to give it a link to more information and just explain briefly what it does and doesn't do? Or is that going overboard?
These sound great! Looking forward to testing everything out. :)
I like numbered lists, strikethrough, the top bar staying on mobile, and I don't know if it's iOS or OPW, but the photos are easier to enlarge on mobile too!
Interesting! I don't *think* I changed anything re: photos.
Does your iOS stay logged in for you as you go on with your life and then click in another day? Had some trouble with that on Carrie's phone last night.
Yes iOS stays logged in - I use Safari, not the app because I had
Memory issues on a previous phone and never bothered to switch when I got the new phone.
App? I ain't got no app
I thought there was one but I didn't have it. Ok, I am not as backward as I thought.
Nah - Tom's clever enough to realize that apps seem pointless at times, so he makes his web apps work for mobile. Reason number 8540778052 I'm a fan.
If I'd had the time and money when OPW launched I would have done an app. Today though...

On desktop and on Android, websites can now have their own notifications if the user opts in, even if you're not on that website or in that browser right now. And the feature is coming to iOS, folks suspect this year.

With notifications added there is precious little reason to write an app unless you need the zero-friction cash flow of in-app purchases. (Yes, yes, they take a huge bite, but does the user want to give your rando app their credit card number? By finger typing it? No they do not.)
I am reminded I need to send in a bug report re: some Notifications wonkiness. I will try to do that today.
