Last time I did this, I did it as a thread.

& it went good, people shared the ones they liked the most.

Thought I’d give this a try now..

Also is this broken on any clients ??

Damus just shows a carousel of photos at the bottom which kinda sucks because you can’t read the captions together with the pics.

Same with primal and Nostur. Would be great to be able to compose a note with an β€œin line” photo, or add a caption to it

The note has the long list, and then all the images at the end. So no client is going to show the images under each bit of text unless the note is composed that way. I don't see any reason a note couldn't be composed that way. In fact as an example, here is my first image:

And here is my second image:

How do they render for you?

That’s what I’m trying to say.. there’s no way in any client to currently compose it that way where you can add a description to each individual image and even if 1 client did it it wouldn’t really be interoperable across the ecosystem

and for me it rendered the same, text of the note and then two images on the carrousel which doesn’t really fix anything the cool thing would be individual text descriptions of each image

It’s probably just the client I’m viewing it on, which is why I’m saying if there’s a solution and no NIP then it’s not the same experience for everyone

On gossip the images render in place, like in Pablo's image. For your client they render in a carousel at the bottom.

You are right that there is no NIP about how to render the notes. But I think moving an image from the middle to the bottom isn't correct and was probably just an easy way to avoid dealing with image-text interlacing issues while the dev worked on more pressing issues.

That NIP won’t be worked on anytime soon right.. I’ve never heard any discussions around this

what do you think about ALT image descriptions as well

I ain't got no problems with alt image descriptions. Gossip should probably render them if the image hasn't been loaded yet. I'll contact the developer.

Coracle does allow you to compose notes and choose where the images show up

I’m gonna start using Coracle for these types of notes then 🀝

Thank you sir!

This is what longform is for

Would be easier to read if the caption/description for each image immediately preceded or followed the image as opposed to 2 separate lists and images unnumbered

Also a good candidate for a Corny Chat Slideset

You can add individual descriptions to each slide ? hadn’t seen that

Yes. Lot of people dont use the captions out of laziness but if you have them, like in this case, it really helps with context.

That’s probably why I had never seen it lol

Those lazy fucks

Clients never really had this in mind I guess, idk if they’ll do anything about it anytime soon either.. it’s probably not even in their radars. Which I completely understand, but yeah it probably would have to be a NIP so everyone is on the same page n it’s all interoperable.

It's a long note, which are annoying to have to scroll past, but it's not a long form note, which is a different Kind, I believe. Long form notes are those you would create in habla.news or highlighter.com or Yakihonne. It's better to use those for long notes like this, imo.

Great note, btw!

I like threads a lot and I think we should encourage more clients to properly rendered them; most clients don't do it well but threads were a good thing in twitter as they allow very precise discussion
