RT with comment #164

Closed haku closed 9 years ago

Confusingly this does not seem to be a new API, just a convention: https://twittercommunity.com/t/method-to-retweet-with-comment/35330

So while this is notionally "RT with comment", its perhaps more like the "Quote button" but instead of the msg body its just a link. It does not use the RT API and the RT counter on the tweet is not incremented. So, options:

1) Add input box to the "are you sure you want to RT?" dlg. If not filed in, do a RT, if filled in, do post with link. 2) Like 1 but also sent RT API call. 3) Change the "Quote" button to do this. 4) Add an extra button called something like "Quote" to do this.

1) is what people most expect, but feels odd. 2) eugh, always seeing it twice. 3) But then what if want to actually quote? 4) No idea what to call it that neatly fits in UI.

Though if 1's dlg was:

Do you want to RT?
[ ] Add comment

And the input box did not appear until the check box was checked that might be acceptable.

For now gone with using the Quote button, which asks "In-line or Link".
