This script provides you with a box which contains the links to the answers on this page.

Looks good. A little design work and I think it's good to go. I like the settings option btw. Could have more options. People love options. A button to activate only when the page is long. A button to increase the answer count before scrolling from 19 to 30 (30 answers are the maximum amount allowed per page anyway).– kockburnCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 11:53

- person who answered now shown
- the answer score shown
- owner reps shown
- box floats correctly
Awesome script. Here is a eventual feature for it that could be useful.
Instead of listing answers 'anonymously' you could have the person who answered, their reputation, their upvote count and so on.
Also, I have a very wide screen and the Quick navigation box floats far left unlike the other content.
Otherwise, I'll be sure to keep using this. :)

1Lol, I'll consider :) Also: avatar, number of votes, number of the question / answers they provided, etc :D– nicaelCommented Jun 30, 2015 at 14:32

Wait, the last screenshot is the bug in your browser. The question content always flows center.– nicaelCommented Jun 30, 2015 at 14:37

1@nicael actually I cut the screenshot. There is equal space on the right.– kockburnCommented Jun 30, 2015 at 14:40

@nicael I thought about it. Probably just the upvote count would be good enough.– kockburnCommented Jun 30, 2015 at 18:07

I've made a tool on my server for collaborative editing. We can use this tool as a dev version of script and push the ready version to GreasyFork, agree? Or we can make it the production version, but this will prevent us testing together.– nicaelCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 15:15

(It requires access token, once you're ready to get it, ping me)– nicaelCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 15:16

That's fine! Can you push a new version? (add some comments to the code and check)– nicaelCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 15:23

Nice :) Now we can decide, will it be a dev or destination version?– nicaelCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 15:24
- in case if owner is deleted, using "Answer by deleted user"
- in case if CW, using "Community Wiki answer"
When the user is a community wiki there is no reputation shown. This does make sense since they don't have reputation. Adding an abbreviation of some sort might be helpful, such as "cw".
Here is an example of the problem answer from a community wiki:

1Okay, I'll address it later today. It also happens when the user is deleted.– nicaelCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 7:58

@nicael if I have more bugs should I add them to my existing answer or should I create a new answer? The bug in question is: When an answer gets deleted or added the Quick Navigation box doesn't get updated.– kockburnCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 8:57

1That's not a bug, the box is inited once the page is loaded and not updated until you reload the page. You can post it as a feature-request in the separate answer :)– nicaelCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 9:12

feature-request status-completed (except deletion)
The realtime updates are enabled by default .You can opt out of them by clicking "settings" and unchecking "real-time updates".
When an answer gets deleted or added, it would be nice if the Quick Navigation box got updated. As well as live update when an answer gets upvoted/downvoted.
-
Deleted, however, would quite difficult because the box should get the reloaded version of the page, which is quite difficult, especially in case of code golf - many resources to load. Also, how would you suppose the script to determine the deletion if there are more than 30 answers? (Maybe you can think of a different technique?) All the other points are completely valid.– nicaelCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 9:22
-
@nicael I agree. Deleted might not be worth it. SO doesn't even update a question/answer if it gets deleted. You'd have to refresh the page anyway.– kockburnCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 9:24
-
1Yes, was going to say about it too - SE doesn't handle the deletion process real-time, so it would be weird if my script would, because it will lead to inconsistency.– nicaelCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 9:31

1Sorry for upvoting / removing upvotes; was testing realtime votes update, it works :)– nicaelCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 11:41

@nicael yeah I was wondering what was happening x). That's awesome that it works.– kockburnCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 11:43

@nicael yup works well. Atleast the upvoting works. Still have to see about downvoting:)– kockburnCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 11:48
New feature: if there's a pager displayed (for the reason of 30+ answers), the Quick Nav box gets a mini-pager too:
This feature is available as of Quick Nav v2.4
When searching questions with a specific tag, the quick navigation button will appear. Here is a screenshot showing the bug.

1Yeah, did notice recently. The problem is the script is wild carded to function on /questions/*– nicaelCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 12:34

@nicael I wouldn't mind spending time working on this plugin as well. If you need me to work on something let me know.– kockburnCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 12:44

That's interesting; how would I go about setting the write access for you? I just don't know.– nicaelCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 12:53
-
However, I know. I can host it on my server and let you write. Okay? It'll take some time however.– nicaelCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 12:54

1@nicael to be honest just create a GitHub? Create a master and dev branch.– kockburnCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 12:55

I don't use GitHub and don't know anything about manipulating projects with it... Another option... Create a community wiki post there.– nicaelCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 12:57

2@nicael really useful tool and avoids making mistakes and writing on top of each other. Contributing to open source projects is really easy with it.– kockburnCommented Jul 1, 2015 at 12:58
