Hyvor Talk Version 3

We are working on version 3 of Hyvor Talk.It completely removes the iframe, which, we reckon, will the increase performance of the comments section, and will also fix numerous issues we have because of the iframe (such as content jumping).The new comments embed is based on Web Components and Shadow DOM.We are making Hyvor Talk more customizable - not only texts, but also components.We are improving the accessibility of the comments section.Our plan is to release it within the next 2 weeks (update: taking longer than expected as we decided to re-design the backend too, ETA early november).

Is there a way you can make it so we can see who these people are?

An idea to get rid of the iframe

Currently, the Hyvor Talk embed renders inside an iframe. The main reason I used an iframe for the embed was to share Hyvor login between websites. For example, when you are logged into Hyvor, you can comment on any website that uses Hyvor Talk without having to log in separately.However, recently all major browsers started to block third-party cookies. So, sharing the login is not possible. Therefore, there's no use in having the iframe.And, the iframe introduces a bunch of problems.We have to resize the iframe on every DOM change, which means more CPU is used. Even so, the height is not perfect.The popular jumping problem. Many users have reported the jumping problem when loading real-time comments. We haven't been able to fix this even though we tried several possible solutions. This is because we cannot control the scroll of the parent window based on iframe changes. We have to go through the postMessage API and it is async, so it takes time. Therefore, the jumping issue is still there.The iframe becomes VERY slow when there are thousands of comments loaded.Iframes are slow by nature. Rendering comments directly on the website will be a hugeHere are some problems we will have to solvePossible class name clashes. We'll probably prefix all classes with something like 'ht-'More possible features:We can make all language strings customizable!No more need of loading fonts separately from CDNs. Fonts can be inherited from your website.Adding custom CSS is easy. You just have to add it to your website.This will be a BREAKING change. So, my idea is to develop the new version completely separately and then allow users to switch to the new version only if they want.Happy to know your feedback!

Easier, intuitive way for users to view their own comments

I've had a few users ask me how to view their own comments. It used to be they could click their avatar, and quickly view all their own comments. Now there's no intuitive way for them to do that. I've had to provide the URL to the console to those who inquired on how to get to the console, select their account, and click my comments. https://talk.hyvor.com/console/account/comments

Improve stability of embed

Some users are complaining of various minor issues. Things like:Problems logging in, for example they can login on their laptop but not their phoneBeing told their email is invalid when they try to loginComments not publishing, but when they refresh the comments do showComments appearing twice when you publish but ok when you refreshI think you need to work on the stability of the embed and test it on more platforms.I would sign up forhttps://www.browserstack.com/or https://www.lambdatest.com/online-browser-testingAnd get one of the test to test comments on different devices. In particular test it on older ipads/iphones and android phones.

Zooming the comments box on some Android devices (Chrome)

Allow larger image uploads by scaling down images

If an image is larger than the plan limits, we will try to make it smaller using squoosh. This will not increase the size of Hyvor Talk because that library won’t load until the user uploads an image larger than the max upload size.

Remove Emoji Sheet and use OS Emojis

The emoji sheet used currently is 7MB large, and those emojis are not high quality. So, change it to use OS emojis instead. Saves data, looks pretty ;)

Support draft comments

On our site we sometimes get very long comments. A few users complain that with hyvor when they are writing a comment, take a break to do something else, when they come back to the comment the text has disappeared. Is there any way to save text before it’s published? Can it not be stored in the local browser session?

Remove chat bubble from console

On mobile the chat bubble blocks the close button. Either change the location of the close button, or move the chat bubble or disable it on console.

give reason for flagging

If a user flags a comment can we have options they can tick eg spam, offensive etcOr even a text field where they can enter a reason.

EFF Privacy Badger filter

A user says they use this plugin and the comments do not show.To be honest I never heard of this plugin so not sure how many people it affects but the process to get whitelisted seems easy enough:https://privacybadger.org/#-I-am-an-online-advertising-tracking-company.--How-do-I-stop-Privacy-Badger-from-blocking-meIf it is an easy fix it might be worth doing.

Add more controls to embed

It would be good to be able to edit user comments in the embed. Also would be nice to have quick access to other controls like:Close comments Turn on premoderationBanning (even if is was a link to the ban section in the console)

Console API

Make everything you do in the Console available as a usable API.

Next.js Integration

Hello, I tried using hyvor with next.js and Im having problem on making it work, it does load on the first page but when I go to another page it wont load anymore and I have to reload the page for it to show up.

keep user signed in

It seems I need to login everytime I visit our site. Can we not keep users signed in?

comments showing twice or more

Sometimes when I post a comment it shows twice. If I refresh the second comment disappears. This confuses users and they start trying to delete the duplicate comments.

Third party backup option

Syncing comments with wordpress would be great but as you also support other CMS some kind of automatic third party backup would be a good feature.Basically we just need a backup of our data under our control should anything happen to your system.Something like a backup to amazon s3 or similar.It would need to run automatically, either once a day or once a week.
