#1986·Dennis HackethalOP revised 3 months agoBug: when cycling through ‘filtered’ revisions (meaning there are more revisions that don’t lead to the highlighted idea), the criticism badge can change count for the same revision.
For all ideas, the total number of pending criticisms (if any) should always be shown, even if they are not all being rendered.
#1989·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 months agoThat could mislead people into thinking a revision has no pending criticisms.
The instructions at the top of the page are clear that not all ideas are being rendered.
When cycling back to the revision, it should continue to display only the count of the shown criticisms.

Since the discussions starts with an idea, there should be a reply button.

#1923·Dennis HackethalOP revised 3 months agoEdwin says to either have hover effects for all clickable items or none of them. Buttons currently don’t have hover effects but links do.
I could remove hover effects from links. macOS links in System Settings don’t have a hover effect either. (They don’t even have a pointer cursor but IMO that’s going too far.)
When there are two links next to each other, like when it says “Dennis Hackethal revised” in the activity feed, the user needs some way to see that they’re two links and not just one. Underline on hover shows them that.
#1930·Dennis HackethalOP revised 3 months agoAdd hover effects to schemed buttons so there’s consistency with the existing hover effects for links.

I tried removing hover effects on links in dev and the user experience suffered as a result.
Especially for smaller links, like the hash links in idea headers, it’s nice getting that visual feedback that you are in fact hovering over the link and your click won’t miss it.

#1921·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 months agoI went back and forth on this. Native macOS buttons don’t have a hover effect and the human-interface guys at Apple are world class. I’m inclined to defer to their expertise. They know things I don’t.

#1889·Dennis HackethalOP revised 3 months agoShould I be showing the comment form by default on
ideas#show?To avoid scrolling past content, I could remove the autofocus on the textarea unless a certain query parameter is given.
Having implemented this, a problem has surfaced: when linking to an old version of an idea, the alert “You’re about to comment on an old version of this idea. Are you sure …” shows. That’s jarring if you didn’t want to comment but merely look at the idea.

I could turn the ‘Revise…’ button into an icon button that lives next to the collapse icon button. It could just have a pencil for an icon.
That way, the button wouldn’t need to be hidden anymore.
As of acb14e3, the revision button is an icon button that lives next to the collapse icon button.
Therefore, the button doesn’t need to be hidden anymore.

#1892·Dennis HackethalOP, 3 months agoThat would mean the revise button would be at the top of the idea. But presumably, people would typically want to revise an idea after they finish reading it. Meaning after they reach the bottom.
It could go both ways. Someone may have already read an idea and just wants to revise it, in which case having to scroll to the bottom is cumbersome.
