Howdy! We’re removing this thread for being posted in the wrong community and essentially an ad/spam.
If you have any questions or concerns about this action, please message a moderator or administrator.
Thank you,

There’s a rather old project that may do what you want: https://github.com/zoran123456/Comic-Smart-Panels
I also use AlternativeTo to look for …alternatives! Unfortunately, the other alternatives (besides Comic Smart Panels) are all proprietary, varying degree of “free”: https://alternativeto.net/software/comic-life/
Reddit was (still is?) considered as the “front page of the Internet” for over a decade. It’s likely we all need time to unlearn the habits we picked up from Reddit. I know I still have that habit of refraining from commenting in certain threads because I don’t want to potentially get bitched at.
I do wonder if a forum-based UI would help promote the kind of community you’re looking for. Some people have suggested that text-only posts might help encourage more discussions and that is essentially what the forums are like. If you want to link to something for context, that just goes into the body text, rather than have the content show up first and foremost. That said, I don’t think Beehaw is interested in switching to a forum-based UI. I could be wrong though.
The “News Flash” bit was unnecessary. Please keep your replies to other users respectful on Beehaw.
Thanks!

My thoughts on this is pretty much voiced by some of the others.
For instance, there was a tool that could be used to repost things from a reddit user page. I’ve warned (and the dev have added the warning to the repo itself) that the tool can cause one to be banned. Now the only way I can see that working without inciting a ban is if the tool was triggered by a command, and only took one link at a time. Assuming the mods already gave permission. Something like the wiki bot I’ve seen over on reddit that posted the overview of a wiki link. However, I would rather be able to trigger it with a !wiki or something to that effect.
The only exception I would take with this is with an automod that reminds users to include specific things in their posts…but I’m also meh about this. If people post without reading the sidebar, they’re probably not going to bother coming back and reading a comment. This issue would be better solved through other means (a reminder of the community rules in the New Post page, after choosing a community).
The bots 100% need to have the bot tag on. No bots impersonating as people, please.
That’s my 2¢ for now.
That being said, CSS frameworks are still wonderful, used right they can save a lot of time during early development by outsourcing the majority of design to the framework devs.
That’s actually my intent with using a CSS framework. A personal project of mine reached minimum viable product statud status (phones…) recently, I included bulma, and used some of its components for stuff like menus and modals. It was definitely faster than writing everything by hand early on. But I also ended up writing my own CSS anyway, especially with the grid, which is the foundation on which my app works on (it’s a grid-based colour mixing app).
I agree, I think CSS frameworks have a place for prototyping and we shouldn’t rely on them as a project moves towards a proper release 🤔
Then again, some people might think the obfuscation in 20+ classes is somehow a good thing…frankly, I think it’s worse than inline styles. It’s basically obfuscated inline styles!
❗ Word of warning
Using this tool in beehaw will get you banned for spamming. If you choose to use this in an instance you do not own, be sure you get explicit permission from the admins + mods of the target community before you do so.
Even if a community is meant for this sort of archiving, be sure to ask first. They might have a specific set of rules on choosing what they want to archive.
Please use this tool with care.
In the future, if you wish to link to an article, please include the link(s) to either the project’s official site, their source repository, or both. Just in case a reader would rather look at the project first before digesting someone else’s opinion. Plus, ItsFoss.com can be very ad-heavy (made the mistake of going there without an ad-blocker once) and not everyone uses ad-blockers.
Thanks!
