It's still possible to let users already type from the beginning, just delay sending the characters until checks are complete. Hold them in memory until then.

- miyuru 6mo agoInstagram was uploading the images while the user were adding post details, back in 2012! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3913919 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3913919 No one seem to use or care about their own product anymore. Only uses dashboard and metrics, which does not explain the full situation.
- AlecSchueler 6mo agoThat makes total sense from a UX perspective though, the ChatGPT thing does not.
- scottyah 6mo agothere were a lot of helpdesk chats doing the same, so you could see users typing messages, then deleting words, etc before hitting send.
- Imustaskforhelp 6mo agoThis was actually one of the reasons why Instagram felt smooth. Another thing but Facebook/Instagram have also detected if a person uploads an image and then deletes it and recognizes that they are insecure, and in case of TEENAGE girls, actually then have it as their profile (that they are insecure) and show them beauty products.... I really like telling this example because people in real life/even online get so shocked, I mean they know facebook is bad but they don't know this bad. [Also a bit offtopic, but I really like how the item?id=3913919 the 391 came twice :-) , its a good item id ]
