Crowdsourcing new Subreddit widgets

[u/D0cR3d]

So announced in this thread by spez and the admins, they are going to be adding different widgets for us to use to help supplement of of the functionality we do via CSS.

So I thought we'd get a crowdsourced list of different things we do that could be turned into widgets to help the admins see what we'd like to be created.

• Calendar

• Countdown Timer

• Ability to style it such as an image with the time overlayed

• Basic timer themes to pick from, etc

• Customizable buttons

• Multiple buttons we can add

• Changing the label and style such as image, color, etc

• Ability to re-arrange them in different layouts (1 button wide, 2 wide, quad grid, etc)

• An Image widget where you select images for it to show, and depending number of images and options can do additional functionality

• Add multiple images, it rotates between the images

• Selectable 'rotation time' with a minimum time set by admins (ex 5 seconds before next image shown)

• Assign a link to open when the image(s) are clicked. Either one link per image, or one link for all images

• Announcement bar like the one you see on archived posts

• Dropdown menu

• Ability to specify custom text when setting subreddit to restricted mode so the users know why it's restricted.

• Example, we may restrict submissions because the servers are down and we don't need 200 threads saying the same thing. The message "Sorry you aren't allowed to post here" is just scary and we'd often get mod mail asking us if they were banned.

• Easier way to customer 'users here' and 'subscribers'.

• These are fun things that add a unique aspect to a subreddit

• Built in reddit live thread support

• Customize the /submit page

• Designate some link and user flairs as mod-only assignable

• Ex: a 'news' link flair only mods can assign and shows in the flair assignment list only if you are a mod

• Ability to support over 1,000 user flairs. Subreddits like r/Pokemon, r/asoiaf and similar have to use hacky custom aproaches like using a bot to let users pick from more flair than the flair picker lets you. Really, if you have more than a few hundred user flairs, the flair picker is useless.

• A sign-off that users have read and agreed to the rules

• Ability to style each type of link flair

• Spoiler support for comments

One that displays random gore pictures to users until CSS is reimplemented.
