Echochamber.js is missing from the list.

> All of the commenting, none of the comments.

> When a user submits a comment, echochamber.js will save the comment to the user's LocalStorage, so when they return to the page, they can be confident that their voice is being heard, and feel engaged with your very engaging content. It does not make any HTTP requests. Since LocalStorage is only local, you and your database need not be burdened with other people's opinions.

Is there a mode to not display my own comments, so I am not burdened by my own opinions either?


Install Shutup.css. Temporarily turn off when you want to vent your opinion, turn back on to not be burdened by them.


Twitch VODs used to have the ability to let user comments on old broadcasts in a similar way, adding your comments to the live chat replay.

And while it's technically pointless because only you see the extra messages, it was amusing to pretend being part of the live audience.

It's too bad they now removed this feature.


So basically you're just talking to yourself as there isn't a real conversation with others.


That's the point...


I think that similar approach would work extremely well on pre-moderated boards. So user won't even notice pre-moderation.


Doesn't work as I often read stuff both at work and at home, and sometimes when commuting.


or maybe it helps strike a work life balance.


Omg, this is amazing!
