Release id #196608 : CSDB Preview Bookmarklet

Hey there, I just did a small bookmarklet mostly for myself to add a preview "window" to CSDB. Often I found myself looking at older releases and I wasn't sure what was what until I looked at the screenshot. With a lot of releases, this can get tedious.

With this bookmarklet you can inject code into CSDB to have a floating preview of each release and you just need to move your mouse over it to see the screen.

Here's What that looks like:



You can Get the bookmarklet on the info page and the source code is on Github.

Great little tool... Well done! Have to admit I get tired of clicking release links all the time just to see a screenshot quickly (especially for graphics releases)... this bookmark tool saves a lot of time!

Love it! It would be great if you could preview the "Latest User Comments" items also. It should be just a matter of stripping away everything from the first occurrence of '&' in the url.

Stone, yes, the URL is easy, pulling it with fetch without CORS might be harder, let me try it.

I added displaying the last three comments now, too.

God this HTML is a mess - NOTHING to detect, no sections, no IDs...

I added a few more features like larger font and filters for the release list table. What do you think?

Wow, release filtering is absolutely amazig and super-useful! The one feature I always missed at CSDb so much, many thanks for developing it! ;-)

only works on a group page, not on the main page ? :(

but yeah why not make a csdb frontend sort of, would be much nicer to see top of the month releases and previews on latest releases :)
