  • 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 its easy 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 of a user 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.
