Description

Overview

It's a bit confusing to navigate to the Posts page and not see any posts when you've just published or similar.

Design

Here, forreal is the name of the blog this post is part of. It is clickable (goes to the blog index).

Implementation

We'll need a query to get all posts owned by a user. We'll also need a way to navigate to later pages: /me/posts/page/2. We should limit each page to 25 posts and at least the past 3 months (i.e. show more than 25 if there are more posts within the last 3 months).

Synced posts

Synced posts should also get special display on this page, and get moved out of their "unsynced posts" section. This will unify all posts on Write.as and make it easier to understand.

Still really needs attention, but is second to our other current tasks.

Still fairly low-impact at the moment. No recent reports of this being a problem.

Pagination is still important. But in the interest of post organization, just as we're doing on Android, I think a better solution would be to keep only anonymous posts on the Posts page, and then show a visually small list of blogs at the top of the page.

However, since this is nearly finished functionality and some people might have a lower volume of posts, maybe we could still have this view as an option. But then the alternate configuration would be the solution mentioned above.
