Comments & Discussions

Comments let users add context, share use cases, and discuss ideas. They turn one-way feedback into a conversation.

How Comments Work

• Users can comment on any post
• Comments support threaded replies — reply to specific comments
• Comments can receive emoji reactions (👍 ❤️ 🎉 😄 🤔 👀)
• Users must be signed in to comment

Why Comments Matter

Add Context

The original post might be brief. Comments let users explain:

• Why they need this feature
• How they'd use it
• Workarounds they're currently using

Surface Edge Cases

Other users might raise considerations the original poster didn't think of:

• "This should also work on mobile"
• "What about users who have X?"

Show Engagement

Active discussion shows you (and other users) that people care about this idea.

Team Comments

When you or a team member comments, your comment is marked with a team badge. This helps users identify official responses.

Team comments are great for:

• Asking clarifying questions
• Sharing workarounds
• Explaining your thinking
• Providing status updates

Official Responses

For important updates, use the Official Response feature instead of a regular comment. Official responses:

• Appear prominently at the top of the post
• Are clearly marked as from your team
• Notify all subscribers

Use official responses for:

• Major status updates
• Final decisions
• Launch announcements

Comment Notifications

Users who are subscribed to a post get notified when:

• Someone posts a new comment
• A team member replies

You can configure notification behavior in Notification Settings.

Moderating Comments

As a team member, you can:

• Delete inappropriate comments
• View the full comment history

Reactions

Users can react to comments with emoji. This is a lightweight way to show agreement without adding a new comment.

Available reactions: 👍 ❤️ 🎉 😄 🤔 👀
