pull down to refresh
I thought about that, but let's take human laziness into account: to toggle live comments you have to go to settings each time, leaving the post/comments you're reading and then go back. It might be cumbersome, but I can also be wrong.
Just brainstorming, but what about a non-invasive dot/button at the top of the comment section, that lets you toggle (for this post or the whole site) live comments at will?
This way the setting is not tied to your own account but rather to the browser you're using!
Or, you know, we can also have a mixed approach by having both a user-tied setting and a post-tied setting
can I turn it off on desktop, to retain focus?
I implemented this in some way in the very first sketches but I wasn't really sure of its design so it didn't make the cut.
I was thinking of reusing the blue live dot for this, I'll cook a bit. Thank you for the feedback!
You're right! There's a preview of what it could look like right here. What do you think? 👀
This is a glimpse of what live comments could look like.
We have new improvements that are set to be released by the end of next week, such as the ability to navigate between new comments that are not in your view. Can't wait!
The notifications red dot remains and is separate from comments, its purpose is dedicated to many more things other than comments: zaps, mentions, etc.
The comments section doesn't have yet such things, other than a blue outline that distinguishes new comments from existing comments. A new way to know when there's a new comment is coming soon!
Let's go @bitcoinplebdev!
now if only wormhole.app were to be OSS and self hostable...
Amazing find!!! The deduplication part is bonkers, love it.
Honestly pretty cool, going to use it right away
