@rappo Would like to work on this. Suggestions:-

Hide any comments with just "+1" or ":thumbsup:"
Extension setting to toggle this feature.

A settings tab on the popup with a checkbox to toggle such comments. Enabled (hide +1 comments) by default. The README says auto-hide is supported already? which seems misleading.

Show a summary ("10 +1 comments were hidden. Show them.")?

Summary of count of hidden comments could be displayed on the settings tab/end of issues page.

What about short comments such as "I like this! +1"?

A bunch of heuristics could be added to hide such comments. But don't think it's worth it, may lead to misnomers. We should settle for +1.

Should hidden comments be able to be toggled on per-issue on the issue view itself?

If we settle only for +1 comments, this would not be needed.

@vegetableman Great! I'd love to see this added :)

In Chrome, the standard seems to be to have "Options" if you right click on the icon. This usually takes you to something like chrome-extension://extension/settings/settings.html. We should follow this convention. I'm not sure what the convention is for Firefox, but we should figure that out as Mozilla is relatively strict with their extension approval.

The README says auto-hide is supported already? which seems misleading.

Correct, this is wrong. We need to update it, just haven't yet.

My suggestion is to add an event to the Issue timeline immediately after the first post. Here's a rough mockup:

Agreed. Let's only hide comments that contain just +1. I think there are three ways that +1 could appear. Plaintext, wrapped with : for the emoji, or "thumbsup" wrapped with : for the same emoji.

Here's a good test issue since there are a bunch of +1s on it: angular/angular.js#1699

Agreed. Thanks for sharing the angular link. Working on it.

Added support for chrome. checkout #52
Will look into firefox.

Added firefox support and refactored the code. Could be merged now.

👍 Thanks for the contribution!
