StackOverflow Power User
About:
Have you ever felt that you've just wasted time while searching for an answer on StackOverflow ?
Sometimes it's because you read the accepted answer, then notice that the next one has way more votes than the accepted one. Sometimes it's because you read a question ("Oh yes, it's the same problem as me !") but then discover that there isn't any answer to the question… I've started to develop solutions to these problems, and come up with a extension with many features that I can't live without since I use it. Every setting can be enabled/disabled through the settings page. I hope some of you will find it as useful as me !
Here are the main features:
- Show answers sidebar (with vote counts), and highlight an answer if you have already upvoted it previously
- Show indicator when there's a better answer than the accepted one
- Show indicator when no answer on question
- Auto-scroll to first answer (because you most often find yourself not reading the question)
- Navigation through answers with keyboard arrow keys (left/right)
- Auto expand votes count & Show answer score (in percent) (this feature require 1000 rep minimum)
- Hide the new StackOverflow left sidebar that takes so much space for useless links (personal opinion)
Screenshots:
Please find more screenshots on the Chrome Store page.
