Four tweak requests:

  1. More of a fix, after you "save" a post, the "save" turns to a "favourites" link where you can see your list of favourites. If you have already saved that post, IMO it should default to "favourites" with the link - rather than say "save" that doesn't link or save or do anything.

  2. Auto-link things with /$/ prefixes like /s/Goats and /u/x0x7 and /p/WEFreedom.

  3. If you accidentally click "delete" on your own post, a popup says "Post deleted. [Okay]". You can escape it, even edit it (to copypasta), but the post has already been deleted. It would be better for it to delete the post after verification, "Delete post? [Okay] [Cancel]".

  4. Distinguish front page elements better with colour, specifically "comments" for better scanning and engagement. For example: "7 comments 1 new (2 hours ago)" seems to be all one link. IMO, better could be "7" unlinked and coloured green, "comments" linked as usual in default blue (perhaps bold), "1 new" unlinked in green, and "(2 hours ago)" unlinked default normal. With a more dynamic pallet folks can find the action to interact with.

On SaidIt one of the CSS I made was colourfully dynamic and very easy to read and navigate for folks with eye issues. A couple folks thought the colours were too much for them and I always intended to make another CSS version the same but with much more muted colours. Here we have a masturcoder so maybe one day it might be neat to have an adjustment icon with a drop down menu with sliders to custom adjust the day/night mode, basic/advanced/expert features (a whole other discussion), font, size, and feature-distinguishing colour-intensity on a CSS theme. This would be good for folks on large monitors and small phones. (Also, on most if not all my CSS themes I had alternated a slight darkness difference between even and odd posts on a feed.) All the little things add up to a better user experience, whether folks see it or not.

Thanks for everything thus far!

Shouldn't this be in an /s/tweaker sub? Or /s/twinkrequests?

Bug?

If you've already upvoted a comment, but it's not showing green for a variety of browsing reasons and it needs a refresh, and then you click on the grey arrow to turn it green - the "second/double" vote brings you back to the front page rather than just turning it green.
