Here's an example.. I'm my last Tube Ace update I added a feature for truncating long descriptions of videos that are of a certain length with a 'Read More/Less' toggle button. First, I had to test various code examples I found on stackoverflow and other coding blogs. I ended up going with the pure JS solution found here: https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_read_more.asp

Then, integrate the option in the plugin:



Second, I had to add the customization options of the "Read More/Less" button in the Tube Ace Play theme customizer.

In total, it took about 6 hours, over two days to add such a seemingly trivial feature.
