💖 What it does

When you click the "Comments" button, instead of opening the Comments page, this script will pop up a little dialog displaying the first 20 Top Level Comments. It'll also give you a textbox to submit a new comment to that tag.

At the top of the "Manage" column, there's also a "Load all Comments" button. By clicking it, all tags on this page will be loaded in the background.

  • The tooltip on each "Comments" button will show how many comment threads this tag has.
  • If your button is using an icon, the icon changes if there are no comments.

🪴 How to use it

You have to have a script installed that adds a "Comments" button in the Bin, for example Action Buttons Everywhere. But any of the other scripts by dusty or Rhine should also work.

You should also disable or delete the 'Comment on tags without leaving the bins' and 'Check for Comments from bins' scripts, because they do the same thing.

Then you only need to go into your bins, and click the "Comments" or "Load All Comments" buttons to start using it.

🐞 Known limitations

A note on rate limits: Each tag's comments are cached in your browser. If you're working through a bin in the same tab, any tag that was checked once won't create any further pageloads, to reduce the chance that you'll be rate limited.

When you close the tab, the cache is emptied. That's a good thing: the comments cache builds up a lot of data, so I recommend to occasionally close the tabs with the bins.
