Is there a way to add notes to other people's accounts?
Is there a way to add notes to other people's accounts?
I'm asking for private notes, that only you as a user can see.
Just to exemplify, a similar feature is over at mastodon, where you click on profile and you see an "add note" message, another implementation is over at discord.
It is a really useful feature when needing to remember certain users, like when you are looking at why you blocked someone or for when you interact with certain recurring users.
Is there an extension or feature for this, if not, has it been requested on GitHub, or am I restricted to having to keep a manual list myself?
You're viewing a single thread.
You can if you code it. It's a simple user script that associates a note with a name and puts it in browser storage and then appends it to their name. I was making it but I stopped because I had work to do and had no time to play with browser add-ons.
Problem is I haven't coded a single thing in my life, while I could technically made something I much prefer using something already made by someone who knows what he is doing
I will try to seaech what you say to see if I can do something quickly, but I will probably surrender if it's not just replicating an online tutorial.
I can code it easily in a few hours but I'm working my ass off right now to get some company stuff done. If you can spare a few dozen bucks I can save a few hours this week for it. You can also try and make it yourself. I've made similar plugins and posted them on !plugins@sh.itjust.works. (i am @God there). If you check out my code and that of others, I'm sure you'll have a lot of reference for it.
If no one else has made it, I already started the add-on but I've been too busy to finish it. If no one else does, I will probably build it for myself and publish it there in a few weeks when my work gives me some time for hobby coding.
edit: if you do take a look
this is very simple, here, check out the mutation observer, the username grabber, the function that appends a tag to the username, it's already there
https://sh.itjust.works/post/89693
and to do the custom tags, you'll need to check out how to use localStorage: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage
that's about it, you can trigger opening the tag modification with a simple window prompt https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/prompt
and you'd append a button that opens the prompt when you tap on a username's tag or icon that indicates that there's none. the button would open the prompt through an event listener: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener
modifying colors is the simplest part with inline css: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/inline-style-in-html/, it can also be stored in the localStorage.
I think this feature should be implemented by Lemmy server to share notes between different clients.
