Cycles Tipping Confirmation box

Describe your feature request
A confirmation box to make sure that a user actually wants to tip before their cycles are transferred permanently.

What problem(s) would this feature solve?
Accidental tips, misclicks when people didn’t actually mean to tip a repl.

Replit currently gives a few seconds that allow the user to click a cancel button. However, I don’t think that this is enough time. Also, somebody could click and give tip somebody without meaning to. If they don’t notice, their cycles will be gone without them realizing until it’s too late. This problem has already happened to a few people.


I propose a confirmation box to make sure that people actually want to make a tip. It should also include important information such as the fact that Replit takes a cut.

Good idea. I suppose this could be made in about 2 weeks :slight_smile:

This still has not been implemented. Will it ever be?

I think the timer is Replit’s solution. It promotes tipping (and profit for Replit) and still prevents misclicks as the GQL is sent only after the long timeout

That timer is hard to see if you don’t know where to look and click by mistake.

It does not prevent misclicks. It might as well be invisible and it’s not a long enough time.

well, also true. I’m not sure but I think that I’ll side with Replit on this one.
