When you press the X icon to close a new post, should the app delete that draft or keep it?


Should ask. IMO


Might be cluttering but I personally would prefer a separate button or an option in a triple dot menu to save it as a draft


it should give an option to save/delete, just like twitter


Option 3 ask of if you want to keep it as draft


Most comments say it should ask. I also think so. Its what people are used to and it also makes sense. If I don't want to post I have to manually delete the draft, otherwise if I wanted to post it's gone when I close it to look something up. If it asks I know what will happen when I close the new post screen.


Get rid of drafts


Configurable setting.


I like this kind of pools, do more. 🫂💜


Likely never going to happen. It's too engrained into everything now.


Why should drafts expire, just let users keep as many as they want.


They don't expire.... 🤔 I am not sure where that is coming from.


Why?


This could actually be a feature to auto delete drafts older then 1, 3, 6 months 🤔


By “expire” I meant delete the current draft. Sometimes you accidentally close a post you’re working on if the app refreshes or you exit before posting. I’d like a prompt to explicitly save the draft or delete it.


Y not ask?


Not a fan of drafts. I sometimes use them, but I'm annoyed that they are saved automatically. I wish it was configurable.


Keep It... But It should be an option IMO


let the user choose the behaviour maybe delete/keep/ask switch?


Always save the draft and add an auto-delete procedure to purge them with a config (1 days -> never, with default at 1 week).

The best interfacce is no interface, it cannot break, it doesn't need to be explained, it cannot be misused.

PS: In the thread highlight the drafts, for example with a light yellow background, please.


The common ux for deleting stuff is to double confirm, be highly explicit


And how do you keep a draft when you want?


Ideally you'd be able to set what the app does when you close an unposted note.

I've never benefited from a draft reply but I've used drafts of new root notes a few times. This has usually been because of a crash or something unexpected like a distraction. I generally put more time & effort into a new note than a reply.


Keep
