Add an option to show identity of users who upvoted a discussion

[Stvad]

It can be valuable to be able to see who upvoted/dowvoted a given topic for the feature request use case. (For example in a fashion similar to hove identity of people who reacted with an emoji is shown)

That way I as a project maintainer can reach out to specific interested people for early testing/feedback/etc.

Hi @Stvad

You can see that right now.

Can you please elaborate a little more!

[Stvad]

So just to confirm - I can't see who upvoted tho discussion now, right?

Also, I thought this was a good place to add feature requests? hence this post 🙂

[PranamBhat]

No. Only "Reactions" you can see like that. For "Upvotes" we can not see who has upvoted while hovering.

Here you can find if this feature is already under development https://github.com/github/roadmap/projects/1

This is still not possible it seems?

@PranamBhat Could you link a specific issue?

Seems the roadmap was moved to https://github.com/orgs/github/projects/4247/views/1, which is nice because of the searchability. However, there doesn't seem to be anything related to showing upvoters 🤔

The feature doesn't seem to exist even in the API https://developer.github.com/v4/

I guess the only workaround would be asking users to leave a +1 reaction or something.

I think this is about the "arrow up" reaction icon in the "Discussions" section, not the "thumbs up". When hovering over the "arrow up" icon people have given in a discussion, you cannot see their user names.

Would be great if this feature could be implemented / fixed.
