That could mislead people into thinking a revision has no pending criticisms.

Bug: 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.

#1986·Dennis HackethalOP revised about 1 month ago

Any filtered ideas should show a criticism label displaying n / m for the count, where n is the number of rendered criticisms and m is the number of total criticisms.

That way, there’s never any confusion as to 1) whether a filtered idea has any pending criticisms, 2) a filtered idea having more criticisms than are being rendered.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #1995.

If no criticisms are being displayed, yet the label says an idea has n pending criticisms, that might confuse people. More generally, any mismatch between rendered vs counted criticisms could confuse people.

  Dennis Hackethal criticized idea #1993.

For all ideas, the total number of pending criticisms (if any) should always be shown, even if they are not all being rendered.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #1923.

Edwin 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.)

#1923·Dennis HackethalOP revised about 2 months ago

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.

  Dennis Hackethal addressed criticism #1930.

Add hover effects to schemed buttons so there’s consistency with the existing hover effects for links.

#1923·Dennis HackethalOP revised about 2 months ago

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.

I 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.
