AO3 Kudos tools

[poulpette]

Hello everyone,

After theaeblackthorn posted their greasemonkey script last week, I was inspired to make my own, the AO3 kudos tools.

The script does three things:
- change the background of the kudos ♥ button to a white on green gradient if you have already given kudos to the work,
- highlight your username in the kudos list (white on green background, rounded shape),
- highlight other usernames in the kudos list (white on blue background), if you have listed their username in the script.

ETA: You will have to edit in your username in the script to make it work for you.

I mostly use the last feature to have a quick gauge of whether people I know have similar tastes in fanfic to me have read/liked the work.

If anyone decides to try this, I'd be glad to know if the contrast is correct accessibility-wise.

EDIT 2013.07.03: I've updated the script, anyone having trouble with the script should update to the latest version. Don't hesitate to PM me if something breaks down :)

I hate to bother you with commenting on an ancient post, but if you are still maintaining this script you probably want to know that Firefox Quantum (57+) has totally broken it. It was working great before the update, and I was completely willing to blame the bare bones Greasemonkey 4 update for the problem, but it doesn't work with Tampermonkey either.

Tampermonkey does indicate there is an error in the script so here's a screenshot:



The red X says "Expected an assignment or function call and instead saw an expression" in the hovertext.

I enjoyed the script for years and miss it, but I totally get it if you have moved onto other things. :)

Replying just to let other people that might be having similar problems know that I did eventually get this working again. With Firefox 57 and Tampermonkey this script must be the first one run on AO3, if you have others, such as AO3 Savior, running before Kudos Tools it doesn't seem to work. Also double check you have the usernames in there with the proper capitalization.

Sorry, not maintaining the script at the moment.

Hi,

First, I'm glad that you found the scrip useful, and for letting me know the script was broken.

At this time I do not have the time to tinker again with it (new full time job, YAY) but if I do, I'll be sure to let you know that another version is up.

Though, if anyone wants to fix this, they are welcome to take over :)

Congratulations on the new job!

I figured you had probably moved on to other things, but on the off chance you had just moved to other platforms I thought I should say something. :)
