RE: Sometimes I want to see resteems. Sometimes I don't.

in #programming15 days ago

Good idea. I feel the same way, sometimes resteems are interesting, sometimes not. I would leave resteems switched on by default and switch them off if necessary. So yes, I find this option useful.

Sort:  

Right now I have it set so it remembers the last setting if you leave the feed and come back again, so it doesn't currently have a "default-on" or "default-off" setting. I wonder if it makes sense to have another option to save the current setting as a default or if that would be overkill.

@the-gorilla may want to consider this point for his condenser implementation, too.

Oh, I thought there was a default setting with which the extension starts. If it remembers the last setting, great, that's all we need, I think.

Whenever I implement a default, it's usually the current implementation within condenser. For the "Hide Resteems", I'm torn between it just being stored in the session state (i.e. lost upon a page refresh) or within local storage (i.e. retained even when the user closes the browser). My implementation is fairly prominent though (same as Blurt IIRC) so it'll be clear which option is selected.

Ah... I just looked at blurt. I spend even less time looking at that site than I do at hive. I see now that I also need to add the show/hide resteems option to the blog page... I hadn't even considered that. Or else just wait for you to do it in condenser.😉

The default is tricky. I like being able to save the last setting between visits, but I could argue for a default setting, too.
