An Advanced Comments Plugin Demo (teaser)
perchance.org

Here are some notable quality changes and fixes I’ve made:

  • Replies are now half-supported! (although you still can’t reply from this plugin demo, try going to another generator like ai-chat)
  • Added a new dark mode for the generator page :) (from this template)
  • There should no longer a super loud notification sound when moving around chat rooms
  • The formatting buttons have been simplified; you can click on the “More” button to show more formatting option
  • Added rounded corners into the message bubbles
  • The lower input area (the comments plugin built-in one) is now hidden by default
  • Redesigned user profile details
  • The comments can now have avatars (profile pictures); if a user don’t have avatars assigned, they’ll be assigned a default profile picture color and the first letter for them
  • Comments from users without nicknames now have italic usernames to distinguish them from nicknamed users’ comments
  • Comments can now fold in (with a “Show more” button below) when the content is too tall to show
  • Users with a blue username set but no nickname will now be shown its blue username on the main username text instead of the auto-generated one
  • Custom emojis now enlarge when inserted as the only emoji in the comment (no additional lines)
  • And a lot of minor improvements

Any feedback is appreciated!

PS: I haven’t been on Perchance for ages now. Just randomly opened this project and felt the need to improve some things.

    hey BP! love that you visit! i was playing Game Dev Tycoon and i think it has an enlightening mindset of viewing self as a company and ranking your materials.

    GameEngine InProgress

    Im just starting my first 2 permanently growing games on my own server and domain! both on one game engine, which im building when not typing this. I love what i learned from game dev tycoon and think its so healthy listing my items. then the goal is to be aware of where each is and let them grow 𖹭 every creation released raises something :)

    What have you been up to?

    would love to hear as much or little as you want to share!

    and, as always, i wish you the absolute best!

      Well, I’ve been much more invested towards projects I enjoy working on and exploring new different sides of the world and now I’m happy as is with all that. That doesn’t mean I’m leaving Perchance completely though. Perchance has been a backbone on my web development journey ever since I’ve created my first generator page long before the AI stuff existed.

      Now I’ll be focusing on improving what needs to be improved here rather than focusing all-in again on my Power Generator Manager journey because I pretty much have new obligations in life and I also have new, brighter directions that I’m more passionate on. I’ll be on Perchance sometimes to explore lots of cool creations like this when I’m getting stuck on that direction and revisit what have uplifted me into a different side of things I enjoy now.

      But other than that, it’s great how this community is still alive today and also have a great journey Allo!

        Also I am planning to release this as a full-blown plugin as written in the project page when it eventually gets the same feature set as in the original comments plugin (the ability to reply, banning and reporting users, etc.), and if I have enough time (a week in average) to tinker on Perchance and re-review some of its core powers.

      PS it should now be fully working correctly as I fixed that one portion of code that should trigger the green “see reply” button to disappear only when the first navigated reply (the bottom-most) is visible again

    I really do want to have the ability to reply comments baked directly onto this if the comments plugin would support it (this would leverage setting some replyTo parameter to a message ID or something when a button is clicked)
