<USER> started a discussion about this URL is confusing b/c it doesn't sound useful from the client's perspective. They don't care about who started the discussion, they want to know why it's relevant.
(change to: Great news! The entire post is about <URL>!)

Go To Reddit reads too much like a call to action which is why some people accidentally click on it. Change this to just Reddit

The comments button is the real call to action so change it to a verb like Open X Comments or something like that.

Either a link or maybe a sideways arrow with a hover title saying "Go to Comments"

Tired of having to log back in all the time. It's still secure to use refresh tokens instead of hourly access tokens as long as I don't store it anywhere (so you'll need to log back in every session).
Should still be a major improvement.

Somebody suggested sorting by length of the comment

To resolve, Delete, Update, or put the code block under test

(Firefox is not showing this behavior)

Expected behavior is that clicking outside of the box should close it

Very common comment that people unfamiliar with browser extensions make about Thredd.

Mom suggested making the red badge flash for a second or two when Thredd finds results so it will be more noticeable without being too obtrusive.

On my computer, going to www.reddit.com/agyt3u automatically redirects to https://www.reddit.com/r/devops/comments/agyt3u/aws_documentdb/ but this is not true all the time. The Go To Reddit buttons assumes that the redirect will always happen.

This can be fixed by simply using the full URL every time instead of making assumptions.

Adding a link to a help page in Thredd is an unobtrusive way to keep people up to date on Thredd's features

Would make browsing news sites much more bearable

Sharing here in case you want to look at their code to see how they do things (I like the lazy, only-when clicked operation).

From u/iVarun's comment:

When extension is clicked and results showing, Mouse over onto Subreddit name brings up the Min-dialog box of that sub and at that stage, quickly removing the mouse hover away from extension space onto normal webpage leaves/cuts-off the that Mini-dialog box of the sub like a visual cutout on that individual result-hit.

Proposed feature: differentiating between link post, in the post body, and comment

• Link post - “Discussion about <URL>”
• Body of post - “Mentioned in <Title of Post>”
• Comment (possible options):
  • Just show some of the comment
  • “Comment in <Title of Post>”
  • “Reply to <Parent comment>”
  • Will also probably need to scroll to the relevant comment

OR

Hovering over post will show tooltip that contains the selftext / comment text / "discussion about URL" text

• X to close tooltip
• do not open immediately; delay a couple seconds
• click to find comment / selftext / just open
• Pros: no limit on comment size

Just need to remove the // (double slashes) with a single slash /

Not many people know to post in www.reddit.com/r/Thredd when there's an issue. Adding the link to the Loading... screen (preferably only showing up after 10 seconds or something) would help.

If the user visits a page before the domain is blacklisted then Thredd will have results for that page. Afterwards if the user blacklists the domain and goes back to the original page, Thredd will show a badge saying Thredd has results. These results were from the first time the user visited the page but the expected behavior is that Thredd should say it's not running.

Inspired by onetab's "share as a webpage" feature, imagine a new button in the menu bar that would allow thredd users to share the thredd results for a particular website with another user that might not have thredd installed (yet).

e.g. scenario

STEP 1: user A visits page X, sees interesting discussions in the thredd sidebar, and clicks the "Share as webpage" button

STEP 2: user gets redirected to a standalone web URL that contains the same results as in the sidebar, but accessible to anyone on the web without installing thredd.

STEP 3: user A shares the web URL for the results with user B "Hi B, check out the discussions I found on reddit bout site X"

STEP 4: user B checks the web URL and enjoys the "reddit research" that user A provided them with without the need to install anything

STEP 5: user B finds the "this page was powered by thredd" in the web URL footer and goes on to install thredd broswer extension and becomes a user

People feel punished for clicking links that take them away from Thredd because they have to start all over again.

u/iVarun's comment is specifically referring to the "why is this post relevant" button but it could be true for all cases: https://www.reddit.com/r/Thredd/comments/bdghur/thredd_update_apr_511/elkikcw?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x

Maybe a better user experience would be if hover has been maintained for 1-2 seconds?

Subreddit hover and "Click to expand" are both annoying. Set them to only appear after 2 seconds of hovering or something so they're not in the way all the time.
