Thing is, two people might be writing the same link and no one gets a heads-up. They could’ve both hit 'start post' at the same time.
ahh, mhh
A quick check when click 'post' and a pop-up would fix the problem. Should take like 20 minutes to implement. No?
No
however, it might just be horrible UX to be working on a post and then suddenly see a red dupe notification. Talk about stress inducing. It may be worth the odd edge case to leave it as is.
I think what happens is that I spent 10 minutes writing a little synopsis and started writing before you actually posted your link, so maybe it only shows up in the dupes check if the post is actually live. When you clicked post, i still hadn't actually posted it. the result is that neither of us saw a dupe because the other hadn't actually posted our post when we started writing the post.

When you click post, it should check for duplicates and let you know if there’s already one. People keep posting the same thing just seconds apart. cc/ @k00b @ek
