Enhance "hide thread" experience #75

Open essential-randomness opened 2 years ago

essential-randomness commented 2 years ago

Tasks:

[ ] Allow to temporarily show the hidden thread on a feed without marking it unhidden on the server
[ ] Allow to show the cn: tags of the hidden thread, if present
[ ] Allow to add a note to the thread when hiding it

Thoughts on the design:

My main thought is that I'd like for "hide thread" to remain a single click interaction in the regular case. I think this is pretty easy to solve by adding a specific "add/edit note" button on the hidden thread placeholder instead of prompting the user at first add.

Other random tidbits:

Ideally after the thread is shown, unhiding it permanently should be a quickly accessible interaction
We really need to make sure that it's hard to accidentally permanently unhide when one is just trying to temporarily show
A "temporarily shown" post should be clearly recognizable as such on the feed. Unhiding it completely should clear this state.

Semi-final "hide thread" design choices:

"Reveal Thread" button allows user to temporarily show thread without marking it unhidden
"Show Warnings" button allows user to show cn: tags of hidden thread. Button is located on top of the thread to be consistent with where warnings are usually located.
"Add note" and "Unhide Thread" buttons allow user to add a note or mark the thread unhidden. Since the user is unlikely to need to add a note or unhide a thread multiple times, these options were placed in a dropdown to minimize visual clutter.

Future clean up & additional work

"Show Warnings" button looks too much like a tag, may want to explore alternative colors or a different look. The button should probably be closer to something like "5 hidden warnings [show warnings]"
Pending detailed mock-up for "add a note" flow
Pending detailed mock-up for "Reveal Thread" and "Collapse Thread" flow

Implementation Roadmap:

[ ] User that has hidden a thread can "Reveal Thread" and "Collapse Thread" as they wish
[ ] User can add a note to a hidden thread
[ ] User can view the content warnings of the hidden thread (assuming that the thread has any warnings)

What we have:

[ ] User can hide a thread
[ ] User can unhide a thread
