Ninja edits. A grace period where you can edit your comment without it showing it was edited. This is usually for typos and formatting mistakes that you notice right after posting your comment. A minute will do.
rather than allowing edits for invisible edits for X minutes, couldn’t your client just delay actually sending it for X minutes allowing to cancel or edit freely until that point?
Gmail allows a similar feature and it seems safer in a distributed system than relying on everyone else to respect what happens after you send a raw message and an edit right after
Implementing this like Gmail would mean doing it server-side. Handling it in the client would be more error-prone, since your device would have to have a good connection in the future, and if it doesn’t, handle retries and make sure never to double-post.
If anything, I’d love a diff of each edit vs the ability to ninja edit
