Allow users to upvote/downvote without leaving Atom #5

Closed alandarev closed 10 years ago

Would it be possible to upvote/downvote without leaving the interface?

The plugin is great, but it feels to defeat the helping philosophy of StackOverflow. Using the plugin, finding a great answer, it would be nice to be able to also upvote the answer rewarding the author's effort.

Otherwise, a great job on a plugin!

I answered this in #3. If you have something to add let me know.

Oh, apologies for duplicate then.

I am currently looking for node.js projects to contribute to. With your permission I will be happy to work on this feature.

Warning note: I am having little experience with node.js but I'll do my best not to submit some crap.

You can always try but I'm not sure I will merge this. First because you will need to register the application with Stack Exchange so it is possible to use OAuth with the API. Then you have to ask users to link their account with the application which I don't really like for a desktop app and finally you have to add the up/down buttons somewhere in the interface.

If you can get all of this working and it looks great then I'll merge. But you'll have to convince me ;)
