Almost all of these have to do with the rich-text editor, because I don't know why the fuck it's included if it's going to work like it's from the mid to late 00s and not like something people are using in the yool2k18.
  • when i keyboard shortcut for any of font modifications (bold, italics, underline), it doesn't register. I crtl+b and the button lights up and then I start typing and it goes back to normal font and i fucking hate this this is probably my number 1 complaint with the rich-text editor, because it is actively fucking detrimental to how i like to type fic. the fucking back-ass-wards korean blogging platform i use can manage this, why is an english based site doing worse than a korean site in terms of ui??????????
  • the above point is a legit bitch, because korean sites are some of the most user unfriendly sites i have ever had to work with and are still mostly made for internet!! explorer!!!!
  • no one goes BACK to add their emphasis binch!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • hitting space while also holding shift one second automatically fucking up the font size so it goes back to TOO TINY TO READ this is not an issue with any other blogging platform i've ever used
  • crtl+k after highlighting text DOES NOT bring up the link insert menu and there's no keyboard shortcut presented when i hover over the icon and honestly that is my SECOND biggest complaint because i have pretty much never met any other blogging site that doesn't use crtl+k to insert links
  • random continuing to keep formatting after i turned it off, so i have to go back and undo it
  • not having an intuitive way to remove background color elements of copy-pasted text, so i can preserve the italics/bold of things i'm archiving
  • but there sure is a way to change the color of text!!! which!!! sometimes only applies to one paragraph
  • honestly this richtext editor is such fucking trash i would literally rather not have the option at all instead of this half-assed thing less userfriendly than standard korean website ui
don't even tell me oh just use the html editor because that's not the point! the point is if you are going to provide users with a rich text editor it had better work to the *minimum* standards of most rich text editors, not like it's from the year 1999. i hate it so much, and i've had two days of archiving fic/writing little ficlets to know that i'm only going to hate it more and more as time goes by.

it's user unfriendly and bad
