That said, I was a little disappointed that Discussions is essentially identical to Issues :(.
While I can't pinpoint any specific issues I've had with Issues for discussions, I was hoping GitHub found, and found solutions for, pain points that users didn't know they had with Issues.
- natfriedman 7y agoIt's a little different. You can mark which comment answers a question, and comments can be voted. We will probably find some other things we want Discussions to do differently, too, as we iterate.
- veeralpatel979 7y agoThanks Nat! I would also recommend writing a blog post announcing Discussions and its features as soon as you get the chance. Reading this HN thread, I got the impression GitHub actually did just copy/paste Issues into a new tab, as a commenter mentioned, a belief that was backed up by a cursory look at Next.js's Discussions. Now I see that's not fully the case.
