goods

'dark mode' - the links are blue & they 'pop' they visually stand out this good

negatives (things that need to be fixed)

high priority (major problems)

no source when you hover over a source/citation (mobile version is garbage)
hover over links doesnt show article
less content relative to regular version
takes EXTREMELY long to auto-scrolls to a section, auto-scrolls takes an extremely long time
doesnt seem like can filter charts/tables

pretty high priority

outline/toc not already auto-expanded
section titles are wayyyy too large
unneeded/useless hotkeys/shortcuts
- like shift m
and the unneeded/useless hotkeys/shortcuts are even done badly
- for example, when you are in a specific section, shift m takes you to the top of the page? wtf...

Hi! Thank you for the feedback.

I completely agree. There are a possibility to doesn't enforce a mobile version and tweak the UI to looks similar. Maybe that's the better solution. I'm going to investigate this, let me know if you have any idea how to do it.

less content relative to regular version

Do you have an example case?

takes EXTREMELY long to auto-scrolls to a section, auto-scrolls takes an extremely long time

Yes. This also causes the same problem as 7.

doesnt seem like can filter charts/tables

In what cases did you test it?

SolveAllProblemsRightNow commented 5 years ago

i tested the various things on multiple pages (common ones also)

i think i had tested the things in the past also, but never made a list and just uninstalled instead

none of this is new to me as the similar wiki extensions has the same kinds and different kinds of problems and basically makes wiki unusable (is not making anything better)

Hi @SolveAllProblemsRightNow, there are some people that find this extension useful. I created this for personal use and I prefer it instead of default desktop version.

I understand you, if you lose features that you consider important, in this case, this extension is not an advantage for you.

However, I think that your first comment has a lot of interesting things to solve and improve and I'll try to find time to add them.
