Over the past couple of weeks, I made some incremental UI updates.

Some tweaks to the styling to make conversations and comments easier to read. If you’re using keyboard shortcuts you’ll notice the scrolling improved and the pointer is sticky when moving between pages. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t work right with Safari 2.0.

I also got rid of the confirmation dialog that popups when you click Remove, and replaced it with an Undo button. It’s now easier to delete, and if you make a mistake, just undo the last action. You can also undo tracking a new conversation, and clearing the new comment count.

I’d like to see more Web apps adding undo buttons, so tonight I’m releasing a plugin for Rails with the undo feature. It’s written for Rails, but the code is simple enough that you can port it to any other language. So if you’re building a Web app, or know someone who does, you can find the code here.
