so it's probably not going to take a lot to do.
I like the idea
But i can't tell if it's going to take a lot or not, because this type of quote you're talking about is supposed to display the names of every quoted author, i.e the person you're quoting. And also, a link attached to a part of the quote for easy and better referencing.
But I think the feature is going to be a massive addition. Moreover, it's quite common these days.
Not really, each post will just have a quote option and a new author can directly quote a post and the quoted post will actually show beneath the quoted post as well. So it's quite simple
Now this is sounding a bit confusing. But, If I understood the first proposal correctly, you were talking about a quote option for every post(and maybe replies as well because they're technically post too).
And, your reasons for that is because, you would love to quote other writer's post in your own, right?.
So, what I'm saying is that, the quote option needs to come with certain attributes like original authors name, a link back to the original post, and also timestamps.
Unlike this plan quoting style below without any attributes...
The new quoting style would contain those attributes, Including a field for the actual quoted text.
I meant to say plain and not plan. Basically there's no overthinking it. Twitter for example has one, so just to mirror it.
