Displaying user card on hover

I searched throughout the forum for a few hours and wasn’t able to find anything specifically on this topic (though it was mentioned in some threads about user cards as a suggestion.)

I understand that many are opposed to this but for some contexts in forums this makes a lot of sense - currently working on a custom theme and wondering if there’s a simple way to show user cards on hover rather than on click:

Is there any reason to believe that this will hinder performance or stress the backend in any way? If upon scrolling and these cards are pre-loaded it could send a lot of requests on the backend?

Just wondering how best to achieve this without affecting speed and overall performance of the site.

Hover doesn’t work on any touch devices, so it generally should be avoided as a primary UX mechanism.

It’s also kind of irritating when stuff starts popping all around your mouse cursor as you move it.

데스크톱에만 한정된다면 작동할 수 있을까요?

개인적으로 이 기능이 실제로 구현되는 것을 보고 싶습니다. Customization > Theme component 또는 #customization:plugin으로 이 기능을 요청하기 위해 비용을 조금 기여할 수도 있을 것 같습니다.

Does it matter greatly if hover doesn’t work on mobile? This is the kind of functionality that you could like on a desktop, but I personally would not expect to have on a mobile (user cards in general I mean).

I’m susceptible to the argument of annoying popups, which is certainly not something I like, but in this case, I might make an exception.

Cheers
