We've deployed tweaks to the profile pop-ups on Micro.blog. I'm pretty happy with them. It's been a little longer detour than I expected.
Main features:
- Better handling when hovering over trigger points - username & avatar. Now it'll wait a few milliseconds before opening. So it'll no longer disturb your flow. It has to be a deliberate intention to open it. If you keep in the same spot, it'll show. If you move on, it won't show.
- Moving out of a trigger point closes the pop-up if you haven't hovered into it, automatically. Otherwise it's the same logic as before.
- Works on conversations. Was half missing (my bad!) 🙄
We might tweak the time it takes for the pop-up to appear, but we'll keep it like this, as is, for a while.
It's always helpful to deploy something like this and get feedback... and live with it for a bit - then adjust here and there to make it right.
Thank you all for the good feedback and also criticism ✌️❤️
