Colour own username in comments
Colour own username in comments
Use case: sometimes I want to see my own comments in context – which is why, I assume, the ‘View parent’ option exists, but sometimes I also want to see it in the context of the whole post, for similar reasons.
In this case, I’ll tap ‘View post’’… and then lose all context, because my comment disappears into a sea of thousands, and I can’t find it again. Having the option to colour my username (like is done with mods and OP) would be very helpful.
Use case 2: sometimes I happen upon a post that I had commented in, and that post exploded after I’ve made a bunch of other comments in other posts, so I don’t want to sort through that post to see how my comment compares to the general consensus. It would be nice if I could easily see my own comments without mentally breaking the conversation flow to read every username (my brain has been trained to mostly ignore them, since that’s largely irrelevant to the conversation). Highlighting my own username would allow me to read a conversation I know I contributed to without subconsciously looking for myself between each comment. Yes, I know my own writing, but my brain still wants to do this, and it’s very slightly distracting.
Cheers, yours is literally my favourite app. Thank you for your hard work!
