Habrahabr: View previous comment in tree

Yesterday, discovering the possibilities GreaseMonkey decided to implement his idea, set forth in the post Comment: a unit of meaning . Having spent 30 minutes of evening time, I sketched a concept of how I see the solution to the problem.



UPD : Solved all issues with usability and released version 0.2 . I hope for your feedback.



UPD 2 : It turned out to work in Opera.

As can be seen from the figure, a small arrow appeared in the toolbar of the comment, when clicked, a pop-up appears with the text of the comment, from which, if desired, you can go to the comment itself.



I did not express myself either as a JS programmer or as a typesetter. The task was to make a concept. The efficiency was tested in FF3 and Opera, if it is useful to someone other than me, then I will deal with cross-browser compatibility of the solution.



If you want to install, install user script . You must have GreaseMonkey installed.



UPD : Solved all issues with usability and released version 0.2 . List of changes:

• Original comment, no longer blocking current
• The pop-up displays information about the author.
• Popup disappears after 15 seconds
• Arrow replaced by Re:
• Experimentally: Popup disappears when scrolling the mouse wheel
