Bugs and Suggestions

Filter out fixed/closed/added tickets from the "Bugs and Suggestions" website (bugs.telegram.org)

Open Suggestion General

Filter out fixed/closed/added tickets from the "Bugs and Suggestions" website (bugs.telegram.org). It clutters the view and makes navigation hard. I use a script to work around this, but it is not ideal. A full support from Telegram will resolve this issue. I vote for the tickets here, and when I see a processed ticker (fixed/closed/added), I just downvote it. And I use this script to remove the one I voted for.

// JavaScript
// Hides the tickets that been voted by the user
// and have non-zero sum of votes, because it looks for that element
a = document.getElementsByClassName("voted")
b = [...a]
b.forEach((c) => {
  c.parentElement.parentElement.parentElement
    .parentElement.style.display = 'none'
})
console.log(b.length); // to know the number of hidden tickets

It waste almost everyone's time going through the endless ocean of tickets, which was accumlated for years. It would be helpful to save everyone's time, Telegram's staff and end users alike.

It is an existential problem that was not solved for a real long time. The website does not seem to receive any update or upgrade for years now. And it supports basic archiving functionality in 2023.

Telegram grew in popularity in the last couple of years, which makes this website shameful to Telegram's success. The website should be maintained and updated to ensure better understanding of the users.

As of know, we have 18777 cards without any filters being applied. 15933 of which are in "Open" filter. And this is the 26583rd card created in the website.

Since I wrote my other card, it have been 9 months. My other card was number = 18275, and at that time we got 13337 cards listed in the website.

Which means that in 9 months, 8308 cards were created, 2868 were deleted, and we get overall non-deleted cards count to increase by 5440. Thats about 600 in a month, or 20 in a day (exluding the deleted ones). Proper management is a must here.
