Some folks advocate for a collapse-comments feature on HN.
I would like to advocate for a explode-to-frontpage comments feature ... so we could have a new front page item for "that great scotch vs. bourbon argument we had in the TPP comments".
It's why I come here.
- TeMPOraL 11y agoOh yes. I second that strongly. Some of the best things I ever saw on HN, and that I sometimes bookmark, are those random off-topic subthreads that spawn in the middle of another discussion. A way to cross-link comment threads like this would be really useful. 'dang, any thoughts?

- waspleg 11y agoI agree. I don't know anything about either of these but this has been interesting to read.
