Resolved - Add auto-save and live preview to blog posts

Auto-save implemented on 21Aug2013

• Definitely add the auto-save feature when creating/updating a blog post.
  • Client-side JavaScript would send Textile blog post markup to the server (like hitting the post button) at regular intervals.
  • Save interval: every five minutes? That would create a lot of versions, but who cares? The key is saving content.
    • auto-save fires every five minutes, but content is saved only if at least one keystroke was pressed.

splitscreen typing mode with the option to center and enlarge the typing window was implemented in July 2013

will not use the live preview, at least not now, as of 21aug2013

• Less important, do something similar to Ghost where the writing screen is enlarged, at least on larger screens like laptops, desktops, and maybe tablets.
  • /microblogpost/1227
  • The writing area goes beyond the standard CSS "sitewide" definition."
  • Writing/previewing area would use approx 900 to 1000px wide or wider.
  • Split vertical split screen.
  • Left pane would be the writing/Textile textarea box.
  • Right pane would be the live preview.
    • Preview, however, may not update with each keystroke. May not want that much complexity and JavaScript code. That would require a Textile and Junco translator in the browser.
    • Preview pane would update when user hit preview button. The left pane would not change, but the right pane would update.
    • Preview pane would update when the auto-save executes every five minutes.
