Some ideas about discourse-boost plugin

Contribute Feature

In #38607, discourse-boost plugin is introduced, and there seems to be something that might be better to optimize for.

On mobile view, the boost takes up too much space. When there are boosts up to 50 or 100, the whole webpage will be flooded by the boosts.

Maybe add a fold to that, limiting the default view of boost to a line will be better? And users who want to see all boosts can click “expand” button on the right upper corner.

Second is that it might be better to add a quote button to the boost, so that users can reply to it without using functions like @ or else.

Hmm, is a boost something a person can reply to? That would seem to introduce a whole new tree of mini-replies. It seems to me to be a disadvantage of the boost idea: another place to have a conversation, another place to look for conversations, another choice as to which kind of conversation to have.

Just like quoting a normal reply will be okay, and the user who boost will receive notification about that, then the users can just use normal reply to communicate.

A small opinion, not sure if it is reasonable.
