I am a programmer but this is posted in the role of a Los Angeles Times subscriber. The LA Times uses Coral Talk.
This has been generated by Perplexity AI and I have modified the suggestion.
Add a dedicated, bookmarkable page (e.g., /my-profile or /my-comments) where logged-in users can directly view their comment history, reactions, and replies without the need to load an article's comment embed first.
Use Case
- Users on sites like LA Times (which uses Coral Talk) currently must open an article's comments, then click the "My Profile" tab to see replies/notifications.
- A standalone page would allow direct access via a URL, improving UX for checking notifications (like on mobile or via bookmark).
Current Behavior
"My Profile" only exists as a tab inside the comment stream widget (per docs: https://legacy.docs.coralproject.net/talk/commenter-features/). No direct route exposed.
What happens is that I often do not see a reply until after the time has expired for me to reply. It would be better if I had a separate page I could open every day to see replies.
Proposed Solution
- New route
/my-profile that loads the user's own comments stream (via existing GraphQL?).
- Reuse the existing "My Profile" tab content: history, reactions, replies, email settings, ignored users.
- Optional: Site admins could customize the path or disable it.
Benefits
- Better notification handling (e.g., email deep-links to this page).
- Reduces friction for active commenters.
- Aligns with modern apps (e.g., Reddit's profile pages).
- Enables replies to replies in a timely manner.
I will be happy to provide further implementation details if possible.
