TL;DR: improve the accessibility of the best comments I've always thought the real value of this site was in the comments. Sometimes a thoughtful comment gets lost because it has no replies, while a less substantive thread might be dominating the discussion. The voting system doesn't always help either, since the fanboy (and pariah) effect causes some comments to be inflated (or rejected) based on who said them, not their significance or merits. So if you can think of a good way to present the best comments for a given link or topic, that would be a useful improvement.
