Review Summary
Users appreciate 'Sidesy' for its clean design and the convenience of viewing and scrolling YouTube comments alongside videos, enhancing multitasking and engagement. However, recurring issues include inconsistency in the toggle button's visibility, truncated comments in the sidebar, inability to resize the sidebar width, and forced exit from theatre mode. Some users report functionality breakdowns after YouTube UI updates, indicating a need for more robust updates. Despite these issues, many find it user-friendly and an effective tool for a better commenting experience on YouTube.
Pros
- Allows viewing YouTube comments alongside the video for convenient multitasking.
- Has a clean, minimalist, and elegant design that integrates well with YouTube UI.
- Improves user experience by enabling scrolling comments next to the video, especially useful for videos with timestamps.
- Easy to use with an intuitive toggle button to enable the sidebar.
- Helpful for users who are not very tech-savvy and works as intended when it functions properly.
Cons
- The toggle button to enable the sidebar is sometimes hard to find or does not show up consistently, often requiring a page refresh.
- Comments in the sidebar are truncated and require switching back to default view to read fully.
- The extension sometimes doesn't work or fails to display comments on the side after YouTube UI changes.
- Sidebar width is small and cannot be resized, not fully utilizing screen space on larger displays.
- Forces users out of theatre mode when enabled, which is inconvenient for viewing higher resolution videos.
