User Shared Blocks

I love that hovering over the included blocks when creating a mashup provides you with a tooltip of what the block does. For example, hovering over the "Image Scraper" block pops up a tip that tells you it "Finds any images on a page and return a list of their links." These tips are extremely usefull.

Unfortunately, the "Blocks Shared By Users" do not have this same level of detail. They only tell you who created and shared them, their rating, and a warning message. It would be extremely usefull if there were a description on these as well. Not only because you could find applicable ones faster, but for safety reasons as well. The "Use at your own risk!" warning message is good but, without descriptions, I have no way of knowing what it does without using it first.

*Edit*: Sorry, I thought I was in the "Popfly Bugs and Suggestions" section when I created this thread. That is where I intended to post it.

Thank you for this suggestion. This is indeed on our list for the very near future. (The code that sets the tooltip text even includes the project's description... it's just that we don't expose the project description to users yet. Smile)
