Chat Starred Images Expander (aka StarScript)

The Thing

This handy little userscript will turn images starred in chat into little thumbnails under the star list.

Example

Current features:

  • Oneboxed images in chat will become thumbnails.
  • Add or remove stars normally. The star button appears on hover.
  • Linked images in the form of [text](image link) (assuming nothing else on the message) will become thumbnails with text being a title on the image.
  • Images from googledrive.com will be properly thumbnailed with the _thumb suffix. Link will lead to full size image. (This is a thing specific to our chat room.)

Here's a little demo gif of starring an image and showing description text on hover:

Planned features:

  • Proper thumbnailing for imgur images (use the s or m suffix to save bandwidth)
  • Accepting suggestions in answers below.

Install
