i mean this is basically how Discord spoiler tags work
would you rather see

gods i just had the greatest time with my girlfriend [fur jnf ybbxvat fhcre ubg nsgre n qnl bs jbex] so after dinner we put on The Reminder and danced
and eventually [bhe fuvegf jrer bss naq jr jrer shpxvat rnpu bgure guebhtu bhe wrnaf]… well for a bit anyway haha [jr qvgpurq gur wrnaf jura jr ergverq gb gur pbhpu]
i’m not alone in preferring the second one right?? i bet i could make this happen lmao
yeah remind me to dev this i bet i could do it in like a day
my dayjob is working with Rails apps so i don’t love doing it in my spare time but this is mostly a frontend thing
it will still be terrible for screenreaders on instances which aren’t ours lol but maybe we can get it into GlitchSoc
might fix hashtag and mention processing in the advanced text renderer while i'm at it too
it was neat to be able to switch between hidden and unhidden text flexibly in the same sentence and i think it was better at actually giving people context for what they're reading
