Add character count indicator to post composer #54

Description

Description

The post composer currently has no visual indicator of how many characters have been typed. Add a character count display that shows the current count and approaches a visual warning (e.g. color change) as the user nears the limit.

Suggested approach

  • Add a character counter below or beside the text input in the post composer component
  • Show current count / max count (e.g. 142 / 500)
  • Change color to yellow when approaching the limit, red when at/over

Files to look at

  • src/components/ — find the post composer component
  • src/lib/validators.ts — check for existing max length constants

This is a great first issue for getting familiar with the component structure and Tailwind styling.
