Comment on Pastebin for spoilers

Comments

I was confused for a moment: http://spoilrs.co/posts/amGpfCV2JLGTlDBRKloP0g

Perhaps to make it Javascript-disabled-friendly there can be styles that are removed when the pop-up is dismissed (or that exist when javascript is disabled via <noscript> ?)

I'm also not sure there is a demand for this sort of thing. [spoiler] tags that require to be clicked/highlighted are hard to accidentally click/highlight and in scenarios I know a [spoiler] is used as a link to a pastebin, etc. User behavior I've seen is to middle click the link and view it later/after. Which requires the user to also switch to the tab.

It seems to be a bit of a redundant failsafe, in my honest opinion. But it looks nice and functions! :)

Thanks for reminding me to fix that! I just tweaked it so it tells you to enabled java-script in order to use the site now. I will come up with a proper fix later so it works without JS being needed at all.

I agree with on spoiler tags, I wasn't going to push it publicly at all, but my friend said there may be demand for sites that don't have a spoiler tag like facebook. He kind of insisted on pushing it out so we will see what happens.

thanks for taking a look :)

>but my friend said there may be demand for sites that don't have a spoiler tag like facebook.

That's a fair use case. Being one who doesn't use FB, it didn't even cross my mind.
