Suggestion: Ability to save/favorite posts and comments

Posted by BadMonkey
Tags: suggestions, feature

A lot of the time I'll see a discussion I don't have the chance to participate in the moment I see it. It would be nice to be able to "save" it so I could revisit later without having to hunt. Similarly, being able to do the same for comments would be handy for when someone links to something I want to follow-up on or fully explore when I have more time at hand.

Even if only implemented in localStorage per client, I feel it would be a useful addition.

          IIRC @deimos is doing some family stuff this Canada day long weekend so probably won’t be around much, but once he gets back I was going to suggest adding a prominent mesage on the tildes.net/~tildes/new_topic page for users to search the gitlab issues page first before posting to see if their suggestion or issue has been added there already... I think that will help reduce the repeat suggestion we keep seeing here as well.

            When I looked for previous posts, I didn't realize I wasn't seeing all of the posts. I didn't even think to go look at Gitlab. Now that I see the dupes of my suggestion, I understand. To @Bauke's point: I suppose search may have helped with that some. Thanks!

              Yeah, it’s totally not your fault at all. There is currently no search, the site documentation is pretty rudimentary and gitlab (particularly the issues page) isn’t really featured anywhere prominent. So no worries, all this stuff will get sorted out soon enough. :)

      Despite how easy Google and others may make it seem, implementing search is a large undertaking for a webdev and requires constant tuning and maintenance (I know this from first-hand experience)....

      Despite how easy Google and others may make it seem, implementing search is a large undertaking for a webdev and requires constant tuning and maintenance (I know this from first-hand experience). I think some sort of save/favorite functionality is easier to achieve than full-on search. What I'm proposing may serve as a middle-ground until the time dedication for real search possible.
