aliens everywhere

13 July 2006

Aaron slapped together a nifty widget if you'd like a little slice of reddit on your own website, it'll display top headlines in a variety of ways.

Most of you probably noticed the color we added to the number of a link that had hit #1 on the front page. This was a neat little feature request because the rising and falling action of the reddit hot page makes this possible.

Some of you may attest to having seen an * to indicate these #1 links, but after some good feedback, we swapped these out in favor of something less obtrusive.

Clicking on an illuminated number will send you to a listing of toplinks.

Lastly, after quite a few requests, we have black reddit shirts. Just in time for the summer heat!

Fortunately, if you're like us, the most light you get exposed to comes from a monitor.

edit: Thanks for reminding me, austinb. You all asked for it, so we started collapsing comments once they sank below your default threshold (-4, but you can change it in your preferences). This should help clean up the comment threads.

I like the colored toplinks, and I recently started noticing collapsed comments, I assume the downvote threshold is something that has been recently added?

That's great! I love the widget. I don't suppose you (or someone) could code a version for http://www.google.com/ig ?

Would it be possible to add a feature for automatically hiding the replies to comments below the threshold as well?

"default threshold (-4, but you can change it in your preferences)"

maybe it's just me, but whatever I change it to, the filter still seems to use the default value.

Very cool stuff!

it would be neat to be able to interactively hide threads, not comments.

Very cool stuff. Minor nitpick though: The field with html to put in your page does not reflect the initial radio button selection. It starts out with: src=" as one of the lines, but has a radio button/drop down already selected for "hottest links of all time". If that is exactly what someone wants they may get a bad link.

I know it's counterintuitive, but loose-fitting black clothing is actually cooler under certain (common) circumstances:

So... yeah. Black shirts for summer heat are actually a good idea. Just ask your local desert-dwelling nomad.
