New frontends! - eviltoast

Happy to announce we’ve finally setup some alternative frontends.

Photon might be flaky, we’re on a release candidate because of issue I was running into using it in Firefox. It’s also what I’m using to write this. If you notice any issues, feel free to let us know.

    For anyone else annoyed by this, I’ve created a userscipt to auto expand the textarea. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than nothing.

    // ==UserScript==
// @name        Autoexpand textarea
// @namespace   Violentmonkey Scripts
// @match       https://p.feddit.uk/*
// @grant       none
// @version     1.0
// @author      flamingos-cant

// ==/UserScript==

function updateHeight(textarea) {
  var text = textarea.target.value;
  var lineHeight = 1.25 * parseFloat(getComputedStyle(document.documentElement).fontSize);
  var taHeight = textarea.target.scrollHeight - 16 * 2;
  var lines = Math.max(Math.ceil(taHeight / lineHeight), 8);
  textarea.target.rows = lines;
}

setInterval((function () {
  let textareas = document.getElementsByTagName("textarea");
  for (let textarea of textareas) {
    textarea.addEventListener("input", updateHeight);
  }
}), 2000);
