I've noticed some different behavior of the drafts lately, but I hadn't noticed any release notes about it. When editing and then re-saving, it now overwrites the original. This bit me the first time I saw it, as when I went to delete the old version, that meant I deleted the only version. I like this behavior better by default I think, but was there a release post with changes I missed?

I was also wondering if the post preview could be worked into the draft section, perhaps via a long press to get the post preview window, or maybe different view options like with the post feed. I've built up a bit of a surplus of future content, so I forget which post is which, and with it not saving backups now, I worry about loading the draft to the post screen and messing it up somehow without having a backup now, so having the ability to preview with image content viewable would let me see which draft is which easier without the chance to accidentally edit and moving the draft up to the top instead of keeping it chronological.

As usual, I feel this may be an "only me" problem, so no priority here unless some of this behavior was an unintentional result of another update.

Thank you as always for your great work. Your frequency of updates and overall quality of the app is top notch!

I post niche content where I don't necessarily have new stuff every day, so I try to stock up on it as I find it so I have about a week's worth of posts on reserve.

It's photo based, so without some sort of photo preview, I can't usually tell what it was from the cutsey title after a few days.

Something like this, where it looks more like list view would work, but then I was thinking I didn't know if it was easier to do something like just make it do what you already have it set to do when you clicked the post preview icon.

Again, you do so much for us already, so if it's more work than it's worth, I understand perfectly. I didn't want you to do something just for my sake. It was mainly just a thought while asking about the draft behaviors.
