I agree with the issue, current User Profile page provides functionalities for
social interactions like Friendship, Messaging, Profile Description and etc.
But to strengthen up community beyond the website and ease communication, it
would be great if Social Profile Links could be added to the profile page. For
example, GitHub has such functionality on the profile page. Of course, it
should be optional, and user should have ability to add, delete or modify
Social Profile Links.
One way, I think, to add this feature, is to add a separate DB table for Social
Profile Links, which contains Url, Id and User_id columns. Then Ruby on Rails
will do parsing to distinguish different kinds of websites and links. And
finally, front-end will use Bootstrap Icons to show visual part. There won't be
needed any additional gems or libraries.
Visual Idea:
I think, it will be a smoother UX if user can change Social Profile Links while
directly standing on the profile page (without redirecting on the separate
page). It will add about 5 lines of JS, but I think, it's worth it.
I'll open a PR after the implementation will be in accordance with the ideas
discussed in this issue.
