What frustrates me the most in every blogging platform out there is the requirement for every post to have a title. Inventing titles for every idea you want to share is immense pain and annihilates all the will to write. In fact I have never started (like I had an idea, some enthusiasm but postponed and forgot about them) with countless articles, computer programs, products and other kinds of projects just because inventing the title/name turned out too hard.
- SkyLinx 5y agoInteresting. For me a post without title would be weird. How do you determine the subject at a glance without having to read it first? :)
- rofrol 5y agoFirst words of content?
- SkyLinx 5y agoNot sure if that would work. I think an explicit title is clearer in defining the subject :)
- qwerty456127 5y agoIt has to start with a good abstract AKA TL/DR (which can also use formatting to highlight the key words) and/or end with a clear concise conclusion. Occasionally articles could fit in the size of an adequate abstract as a whole. This is what I would expect when I visit a particular blog directly, not a list of titles. And this would be enough, especially given the fact I visit a specific blog (I don't visit many) already means almost everything there is worth reading.
- open-source-ux 5y agoSometimes it's easier to write your headline or post title after you've written your article. You can create a placeholder for a title (e.g. "Thoughts 001") and update it once the post is completed.
- quickthrower2 5y agoMaybe the title text box should be under the content editor :-). Once you’ve written it ... you’ll know the title. Or just make the title “untitled” then add some CSS to hide it :-)
