OldTwitter QoL suggestions

Open m3k1e opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Hello there, I was gonna use your OldTwitter extensions, coming from GoodTwitter2 script (since this script hasn't been updated for a while) and it looks good. However, with some limitations, here are the QoL suggestions so people with modern Twitter layout can familiarize it without meticulously switching to modern layout back and forth.

  1. Add the quote count between Retweets and Likes, and Bookmark count. Let's say if I wanted to see a tweet that has higher quote counts than likes, I would have to go back to the new layout and screenshot it just to post a tweet saying "ratio". chrome_TCorrhoyh3
  2. Add a few features in DM such as GIFs, emojis, video embed support and ability to add emojis on both message bubbles because you'll end up visiting your friend's DM with this kind of UI ("Reacted to a video with 👍" annoys me). Do this in Compose Tweet. chrome_cUeXQNntWa chrome_LJtYjBtsGH
  3. Add "Create Group Chat" button and a search bar with 4 filtering settings like All, People, Groups and Messages, which is great for finding old memories when you first met, especially roleplay days. chrome_zTLhrwKolt chrome_BG1a5hlWy0
  4. Add "Switch to Mobile Layout" on profile menu to make it easier to switch. chrome_rFecemxiCy
  5. Make the OldTwitter look seamless when clicking other Twitter pages without Twitter bird logo popping up in loading.
  6. Add the "Create a new thread" button besides it so it'll be easy to tweet multiple threads at once, make the video preview clickable and finally add a reminder for you to save drafts if you're clicking outside of the box. image chrome_Yi6RrLZTYI
  7. Be sure to add the "Drafts" button to view saved draft tweets and scheduled tweets in a process. chrome_rEnIHDnSSO chrome_dkBkijZH3f
  8. Unrelated but at least make it "Eight Dollars" extension compatible so I gotta make sure if users with a verified badge have labelled either "Legacy Verified" or "Twitter Blue".

I understand the concerns if you think this is "unnecessary" for the sake of OldTwitter's purpose but these features from mobile layout are so important to me that I couldn't get used to your extension without it. Hope you understand.

"bookmarks count was added already, maybe will add quote count soon too" Proof? I can't see bookmark count in the tweet itself. image

Get beta version and enable option to see Bookmark count
