@aescling @starfall code review is important cat you legitimately caught an error in my code lol

@KitRedgrave @aescling but i mean you could easily just do the backend support, only see the rot13 fallback on your own instance, but have it show up as spoilertext here 😈

@KitRedgrave @aescling yeah i mean honestly the only reason i did this slightly more complicated thing is because ROT13 is really bad for accessibility and i couldn’t in good conscience promote it on the wider fediverse without some way of easily recovering the original text

@KitRedgrave @aescling so on a supporting instance like here, you never see the ROT13, that’s just the fallback for the rest of you

@KitRedgrave @aescling i mean basically

it just does so in a way where the original text is still recoverable by frontends/other instances

@KitRedgrave @aescling doing this in Mastodon!React is a nightmare but

@KitRedgrave @aescling it’s not hard conceptually; the spoilers look like

<span property="tag:ns.1024.gdn,2022-11-11:spoiler_text" content="The actual content of the post">Typically ROT13 but it doesn’t matter; ignore this</span>

you just match spans with that property attribute, pull their content attribute, and replace them with a spoiler toggle (which is not hard to make)

@aescling mhm
