some weird furry thing that's trying to make the best of a bad situation, just like anybody
hello i did it !
it collapses the likes, follows, and shares (without additional posts) into a separate column, so you can look at your comments, replies, and shares (with additional posts) at one glance :)
you can find it on github here, along with install instructions and things to watch out for 🎉
yes, this is almost definitely an official planned cohost feature
but sometimes you just want to see whether anyone actually said anything substantial in 99+ notifications right now ! so i tried to make a chrome extension to do that for you. the code is a mess don't look at it here we are!unfortunately it's only for chrome or browsers which can install chrome extension (i didn't test tho. good luck).
have fun !!
Since @staff has a lot on their plate and my pet feature request is unlikely to be addressed in the short term, I decided to do it myself:
You can install this userscript for yourself using Tampermonkey. I've tested in in Chrome and Firefox, and I don't think there's any reason in principle it shouldn't work in any browser that supports reasonably modern APIs.
Here's what it does specifically:
-
If you've already seen a chost, it'll collapse it in its thread.
-
If you've already seen all chosts in a thread and that thread doesn't have any tags, it'll hide the thread entirely.
-
It'll always show you the version of a chost you first encountered, even if you navigate away and come back.
-
Information about what you've seen is only stored in session storage, which means it'll be reset every time you start close and re-open the page. (If people want longer-term storage, let me know and I can probably make that happen.)
Give it a shot! Let me know what you think!
