Easy copy-paste dashboard for commenting

[ashishnitinpatil]

Hi, I like the concept, but in it's current state, there's quite some effort one needs to do in order to comment in a nice way instead of just leaving a link. Perhaps each item in the list on the landing page can have a copy button next to it that copies to the clipboard, a formatted comment for an easy paste.

Sample comment (output) -

I downvoted because no attempt was made

Sample comment (actual content copied to clipboard) -

[I downvoted because no attempt was made](http://idownvotedbecau.se/noattempt/)

Sorry, this slipped by me... I appreciate the idea, but I'm not sure if implementing it (or something similar) would be worthwhile.

There's many ways to phrase the links, but no one right way. For example, I wouldn't want the link to be phrased as in your example (in fact, I'd prefer the blank url). I'd prefer to let the end user format as they desire. Anyone can use AutoReview comments to create their links and access them easily, adding as little or as much info as they want.

I'll leave this open and let it collect other opinions. Thanks for the suggestion.

I think this is a good idea, given a reasonably-polite template can be composed. Maybe something like:

I downvoted because ...; click here to find out how to fix it and then @mention me so I can change my vote.

Due to some recent meta kvetching, it might be useful to provide this. If you check this version of index.md

You can see beneath each link is a markdown link with suggested text. The text is configured by adding a variable called linkText to the yaml front matter on each post.

The formatting in that linked version sucks. I'm not happy about it. But it's doable. Just need to figure out how to set up the list.
