Feature Request: Private dabblets

Open JohannesMP opened this issue 11 years ago • 3 comments

When linked with a github account it would be nice if you could choose to make a dabblet private or public. When set to private the dabblet would not appear on the user's profile page.

In addition it would be nice if it was possible to set the default visibility for new dabblets, so you could choose to have new dabblets automatically be private.

You can make private dabblets already, but it's kinda hacky. Just create a private gist with an empty dabblet.css, and then use its ID on dabblet. But yeah, I agree, it would be nice to be able to do it in a simpler way.

Since you're already using a CSS comment for the title, why not just allow users to type "Private" or "Private: true" on another line to hide it from the profile page?

When viewing the profile as not-the-owner, the dabblet would be hidden. When viewing it as the owner you would see a small tag or the title banner would change color to indicate that it's private.

Hmmm, not bad. It’s not very discoverable, but it's not a feature that should be too discoverable.
