Cycling through the revisions of a leaf reveals its gutter, which should be hidden since it’s a leaf.

Make sure cycling between a leaf revision with children and a leaf revision without children properly toggles the gutter.

Having features to both collapse an idea and hide all its comments seems like an opportunity for unification. Why not just go with collapsing and remove the ability to hide all comments?

#1780·Dennis HackethalOP, 11 days ago

Sometimes you just want to hide the comments without collapsing the parent idea.

Fetching the idea is not necessary if the feature is backwards compatible. Can still just use /ideas/123.

#1771·Dennis HackethalOP, 11 days ago

As noted in #1777, fetching the idea actually helps. Well worth the overhead.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #1769.

That would mean fetching an idea to compute the path for each hashtag. Overhead?

#1769·Dennis HackethalOP, 11 days ago

This actually helps to prevent rendering links with IDs that don’t point to any existing idea.

#1763·Dennis HackethalOP, 11 days ago

Wouldn’t even need friendly ID for that since the URL would contain the ID. Would only need to override to_param to concatenate the idea’s ID and content.

#1769·Dennis HackethalOP, 11 days ago

Seems like minor overhead. It’s not like there are tons of user-generated hashtags everywhere.

The way IG solves this is by rendering the form in a fixed position. It’s still on the bottom but always remains visible.

#1764·Dennis HackethalOP, 11 days ago

Facebook does it this way, too.

  Dennis Hackethal commented on criticism #453.

The more ideas there are in a discussion, the further the form for top-level ideas is pushed down. Then people don’t know how to submit a new idea and comment on an existing one instead, even if it’s unrelated, as happened with #448. So I need to make this clearer.

#453·Dennis HackethalOP, about 1 year ago

Reddit is a bit different because they have multiple subreddits/communities, but each community has top-level posts which people can then comment on. They have a completely separate page/UI for top-level posts. And then directly underneath a top-level post, there’s a textarea saying “Join the conversation”.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #1765.

That would make idea URLs more meaningful, but there’s something simple and beautiful about the shorter URLs that only have the numeric ID.

#1765·Dennis HackethalOP, 11 days ago

Could have backwards compatibility for the short version and continue using the hashtag in the UI. Best of both worlds?

Friendly IDs for discussions would be nice. With automatic redirects for numeric ID from legacy links.
