So you know how discord has a button in the contextual menu for reactions at the top? ![IMG_1304](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/1/8/c/18cea7a9e01bede7ae272b39abe8ebf1f19d7ca0.jpeg) Well Discourse doesn’t have that, and the only way to view reactions in bulk easily is to hover over the reaction to see who reacted, or by holding the reaction which can feel awkward for holding a small button. This can start to feel time-consuming and unorganized when doing this with many. This is how discourse’s menu looks. ![IMG_1307](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/1/1/e/11ee260b5880b1eb49f8f6c81091b54529c3096c.jpeg) On discord, you can easily open the contextual menu to see who reacted with a right click and a left click. The menu is more organized than discourse’s implementation of reactions in chat. This menu is much easier to read and control than when you use discourse to look at the reactions in chat. ![IMG_1308](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/6/9/0/69021a62badf60602dbe71c7733573c14923264a.jpeg) My idea was to add this much better implementation of looking at reactions over to Discourse, in the chat. This might also be able to be implemented elsewhere, like forums with Discourse Reactions installed. On topic posts with discourse reactions, this looks a little better, but my idea was to add a smiley button on the side to see a list of who reacted with what like discords. This is discourse’s reactions menu in long form posts, which is better than the implementation in chat already: ![IMG_1309](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/c/a/b/cab52fb4b62dff2931dc21c56694c792488b9c60.jpeg) ---
