馃殌 Feature
As a user I would like to save my posts as drafts. Posts should be auto-saved periodically.
User Problem
Currently for posts, there is no possibility to save them as a draft and continue on them later and eventually publish them. It's either make or break. Posts in the making are lost if the server is rebooted, if the network has an outage or if the user clicks the back button in the browser, with a negative impact on user experience and more effort for the user to recreate the post.
Implementation
Similar to WordPress, there should be an option in the editor for users to:
-
save a post as a draft -
switch a post to draft -
Drafts should be labelled as such. -
Show drafts on the user's profile page where they can be retrieved.
-
-
publish a draft -
Posts in the making should be auto-saved every X minutes.
Design & Layout
a) for new posts or drafts
b) for published posts
Validation
Increased customer satisfaction, happiness and donations.
