Dimming files instead of hiding them #3

Closed peol closed 8 years ago

Would be cool to, instead of hiding them, to dim these files out. So:

readme.md
license
.jshintrc
Gruntfile.js
whatever files the user wants

could all be less visible than the actual "solution files", giving focus to what's important in the repo.

I guess with https://github.com/sindresorhus/github-hide-files/issues/2 there could be an option to only dim. But I prefer to hide the dotfiles as they're almost never useful. I do see the use-case for dimming other metafiles though.

Yeah, considered just commenting on #2 but thought it could use its own issue. :) I know we talked about this in Oslo.

sindresorhus commented 10 years ago

@peol Yes, indeed :)

Any other suggestions on how to unclutter the GitHub UI welcome.

I just noticed I had Stylebot installed. It was pretty easy to dim them out using that: screenshot

You can close this issue if you feel like it's OOS for this project :)
