Support for text posts
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'd like to save off text posts somehow, since I end up upvoting recipes and other text only style posts. I've noticed they always end up in the failed downloads section with the "reddit links are disabled" reason.
Describe the solution you'd like:
Maybe save the text and a link to the original post in the /download/subreddit folder as a text file, then display the title in the web interface as if it was an image. Maybe even attempt to convert from text to an image to display?
Additional context:
None that I can think of.
This is possible - RMD stores the text from posts it scans. It would require some UI changes though, so I'll add it to the list.

I am interested in implementing this feature. Initially, I was thinking about a standalone app for comments, but since I already use RMD a lot for every other media hoarding and many people have also expressed interest in this feature, this is an idea worth implementing into RMD.
The database scheme could easily incorporate textual content, and for display, there could either be a separate tab for text or rendering of text to image . For the latter if we lose the function to search inner text the implementation would be trivial as images are already supported.
I suppose it's as a good a time as any to circle back to this thread. There is news regarding this request.
As of a little while ago, I've begun rewriting RMD in TypeScript. This change, once complete, will bring with it a brand-new UI, and full backend database support for text-only Post browsing and saving.
It's all still in the early stages, and I need to keep chiseling away at it as I have the time, but eventually this should solve the problem completely in a more elegant way than the current database setup is able.
