I just added an activity feed up top. It updates real time. Currently it tracks comments, chat, posts, and badges. Let me know what you think. I also finally fixed the comment and post feed sorting. Snow in the forecast tomorrow. I hope it doesn't disappoint.
For me, the time is not important; the WHO is. Hubski is not a social media jag site... I don't feel urgency here. Adding a timestamp implies that WHEN information was posted is important. (It isn't.) What is important is the quality of the content. (I think this is why posts 1000+ days old get referenced or brought up from time to time ... the content is the value, not the 'when'.)
I like the username colour it's given me, and it seems to be consistent (browsers, cookiees, order), so what determines it in the api? Is there any way we can influence that ourselves? Could it be tied into profile pages or even comments? ala Slide for Reddit ? Edit: Aha! Cumol also has this colour, so is it based on first letter of the username? Edit 2: Aha! Cumol's colour is slightly different, so there's something else to it! Edit 3: Okay... seems there's a distinct jump in chat colurs everyone has over time, does it reset at midnight or something?
