I need a "follow this user" function.

Some users absolutely killing it when they rant. I want to get notified when they do so.

    Good idea, especially since I can count on two hands the users who actually post rants.

    @Letmecode also preventing it from being public removes the risk of devRant turning into devTwitter

    @AngryDev - Agreed. Worst thing that could happen would be for "follower count" to be added to your profile. I love devRant in part because it doesn't have the bullshit that facebutt and twittershit have.

    @AngryDev @Swifticus I definitely don't want devRant to be a Twitter for devs. I just like the way some people rant or comment. Right now I have to go to their profile to see if they posted something.

    @H4u60r3, yeah I get that and think it's a cool idea as long as the # of followers is kept private. Last thing we need is devs posting "sponsored content" because a lot of people are following them.

    @dfox @trogus this right here! Would be great

    Also...

    I miss "h3ll". She was a great ranter, and i'm curious about the developments on 'operation pinecone'... Anyone knows what happened to her?

    Good idea. But just to follow some users. No listing, no info, nothing. Just follow a user. :p

    @mk3d so not an options menu like this?

    I do have a right-click shortcut to follow the OP of a rant. But the issue I found was... I end up basically following everyone.

    @QuantumAtom I think she deleted her profile? clicking on @h3ll doesn't do anything anymore

    It could be either that or she changed her name. I don't see why she would change her name though.

    @QuantumAtom Even if she changed her name her ranting style is pretty recognizable...

    I'd love if there was a features section like in iFunny. The rants voting at a fast rate get featured so you always have good, reliable content. I suppose they would come out every six hours or so it would be practical…

    Yeah I agree. Which is why she must be gone.😔

    @billgates Just a button on the profile page to "star" some great user. Get a list with their rants. And a little list to manage the "stared" users. Simple and efficace? Not?

    @mk3d hm i guess... treat each user as a Rant, when you subscribe basically adding a comment and when he posts, its also a comment, so u get some sort of notification.... yea guess that'd work, just a bit of copy paste

    Well finally got around to adding it to mine, along with some other fixes... now just need to see if it works...

    We are planning to implement something very close to this. For its initial form it will probably just be follow a user and then you get a notif whenever they post a rant.

    Thanks for the suggestion!

    @AngryDev just curious, seen a few rants asking about people that've gone missing. What's the big deal?

    Honestly, if you look at the really old rants, a lot of the posters have gone AWOL.

    @billgates it's just because certain community members (like h3ll) posted very high quality rants and are amazing to read so when they go AWOL we are sad
