Known Issues/Limitations

It's not easy making an image board on gemini lol

Newlines in post text:

This absolutely sucks ass, and is a limitation of my server software. It's not recognizing newlines in the encoded URL properly and I think I'm going to make a PR to the source code of it soon to rectify this issue.

It's EXTREMELY annoying. It makes the preformatted text look really small too for long posts on Lagrange so I always just click to show the raw heading for it. Thinking about it now too I wonder if newlines in the preformatted caption would break it too.

I am going to actively be working on a solution for this.

Leaving The Page Mid-Post:

This is the biggest issue one might encounter. If you are in the middle of writing a post/reply, then exit to another page and try to start another one, your queries will get all mixed up.

In the most common scenario where this happens you'll likely just make a reply to that post with the text being the post number you're replying too. Follow the solution below to not look like a dumbass in this case lol. All text input prompts allow for no input tocancel a post in progress too, so if you want to stop posting/replying use that to stop this issue entirely.

A possible solution would be to clear out posts in progress associated with an identity when viewing any other page, but I perosnally don't like this as it would require an identity on every page. Ew.

Solution For Now

I've written a page specifically to clear all posts/replies in progress associated with an identity. All you have to do is go to /cancel to cancel everything associated with your identity.
