X Composer - Fade Text above 280 Chars

By jason · 3 months ago · 10+ installs

Fades text past X's soft limit (280 chars) and shows an over-limit ring counter using X-style weighted counting. Works across all composers (main post, reply, etc.)

Key Highlights

  • Fades text after X's 280-character soft limit
  • Shows an over-limit number inside the composer ring counter
  • Uses X-style weighted character counting
  • Works in main post and reply composers
  • Supports both x.com and twitter.com

Details

This tweek makes overflow in the X composer easier to see by fading any text that goes past the 280-character soft limit. Instead of treating all characters the same, it follows X-style weighted counting so the point where fading begins matches how X counts posts, including shortened links.

When your draft goes over the limit, the composer also shows an over-limit number inside the ring counter. The behavior applies across X composers, including the main post composer and reply composer, on both x.com and twitter.com.
