Question preview in list

Question

I think it would be a great feature to be able to preview a question while you're scrolling through the list. Many times I find that I don't know by the title what exactly is the question about, whether it is relevant to me or I know the answer to the question. I then have to open the question and either go back and forth in the same tab or open new tabs while keeping the list open at the same time.

A small button that would load only the original question and show it slide down from the list entry would greatly help in this use case. Clicking on the button again would hide it, so that I can move on scrolling through the list.

Answer 1

There is already a preview for the listed questions: Hover the mouse over the question title, and for run javascript every 24 hours you get the following tooltip.

It doesn't show any Markdown, and the preview is limited to X characters, but you can get an idea of what a question is asking without seeing the question.

On https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions, an excerpt of the questions is always shown.

That is true also for the search pages.

See also the pages listing all the questions using a tag.

Answer 2

When you browser from the Questions menu line instead of the homepage, you get the first two or three lines from the question w/o an markdown applied. Personally, this is how I always read the site.
