Bring Back Favorites

Open Juhrassic opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

This is probably an unpopular request but i remember Twitter having Favorites before they replaced them with Likes in 2015. Is this possible to add in or at least make it so we can toggle it on/off? I also remember that there was an extension that replaced Likes back to Favorites but it stopped working around a year ago.

duplicate of #225, but this one has a bit more info, so I'll close the other one. I'm pretty sure that I can add this functionality.

Oh sorry i swear i checked every post but i must have missed that one. But anyways nice one! I always preferred Favorites over Likes on Twitter. This extension is awesome btw too! I've been using it for a few days now and i love it!

I don't know if this is still in anyone's interest but I was able to convert some PNG screenshots of the old reaction icons to inline SVGs (which is what Twitter uses nowadays for the little icons).

Example: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/42522603/125659602-0a1a7be4-50e1-4e9e-b62d-dcbe84e34db1.mp4

Also in the example I forgot to change the color of the "Favorite" button but that's easy to change.

The icons still need some improvement but other than that it works. I'd be happy to share the SVG files at anytime.

I have worked on this feature a bit and it's already possible to do, there just were some errors with it I didn't fix yet. In particular all the texts saying "like" instead of "favorite" has to be done. And changing the text of the tooltips you see when hovering is very annoying.

I'm using the original fonts that twitter used as well, so there's no need to include svg files. Thank you anyways.

It currently looks like this, combined with #279:

It also turns yellow when hovering over it/clicking it: image


Update on the project, if someone is interested: I'm sorry that I've stopped updating this project, but I really don't have any time right now to spend on this. My life is a bit busy right now. I'll probably continue working on this in ~2 months or so, then I think I'll have time. I'll try to fix any imminent bugs should some appear in the mean time though.
