RE: Programming Diary #7: Browser extension updates to activate when scrolling and show color gradients

I could query the API for more info, but I think that would generate too much network traffic, so, it's looking like this can only be implemented after clicking into the post. Unless @moecki or @the-gorilla know something that I don't know???

When thinking about the data available, I'm reminded of how I implemented bot use in my interface. I didn't loop through the posts to see who had voted on them but instead keep a dynamically updated file that checks who has delegated to the well-known voting bots and check against this. Because some posts can have over 1,000 votes, checking every vote for every post feels huge.
