I suggest to better format the title ("summarize your post with a title") area
By some odd mistake I wrote only about half a title to a post in Scientific Speculation yesterday:
- Post itself: https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/posts/283763
- Post history: https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/posts/283763/history
The post stayed like this for many hours and two down votes came; unsurprisingly with down votes, no comment such as "I recon the title is broken" was left (and I find it plausible to think that the broken title caused to bias the reader just right on start).
I quite like the idea that titles are under post bodies in post edit pages but I think that the title area should be less "buried" between the post body and the tags area, should get some more special CSS and perhaps even get some minimal length; either way, automatic transfer to a preview page of a post (as happens in StackExchange, which is something I myself proposed there at the time) might be better than anything else.
