[enh] Tooltip for bugzilla, github PR links

Open ntrel opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

It would be really useful if DFeed could display certain links with a tooltip showing the page title of the link, e.g.:

  • https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11098 - tooltip would be: 11098 - template instance x cannot use local y as parameter to non-global template z
  • https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/2270 - tooltip would be: [enh] fix issue 10491 - Type inference for function arguments with default value by hpohl · Pull Request #2270 · dlang/dmd

The user then hovers the mouse cursor over the link to see the title. This saves time having to click on the link to find out what people are writing about (people rarely bother to provide a description for the bug/PR in forum posts).

DFeed would get the title from the <head><title> part of the webpage. This would be limited to links to the above domains, rather than all links, to reduce work for the DFeed server.
