fair enough, i see, left side points, right side comments

What do you mean by "right side comments"? I wonder if there's something in HN's UI that is misleading. (Or perhaps you're using a third party extension of some sort?)

  sorry, this is what i meant, which i never realized since 2015 left side of my name has a number far right side of my name has a number left side of my name is the points of my comment right side of my name is the comments beneath my comment I never realized that also thanks for pointing out the rules of the forum, sometimes people forget and thanks for modding hn the bug that i find surprising is when i type a text, i need to make two breaklines to show one breakline

    > right side of my name is the comments beneath my comment Do you mean the number like [+11] that shows up after you've collapsed a subthread? If you click it, do the comments beneath your comment reappear and the number goes away? Edit: I'm pretty sure that is the confusion, because it's the second time in a few weeks that this has come up. I've changed the "collapsed" indicator to say "[5 more]" instead of "[+5]". Hopefully that will solve the problem. The strange thing is that it took almost 4 years to hear about this.

      Right that was the confusing part Wow, great job of getting that shipped real fast, It's really obvious now Maybe other people already experienced this issue in the past but didn't really know who to report it to, or wasn't big enough of an issue

        > Wow, great job of getting that shipped real fast, It's really obvious now I love it when you can take years to fix something and someone will still say that anyway :) (The same thing happens in the HN inbox. "Wow, thanks for the fast reply"...if they only knew.)

        lmao well out of curiosity why have you folks never open sourced hn? even if its just the fronend? wouldn't it help if your community of hackers decided to contribute? it seems like a good majority of people are willing to work on it im assuming that since a lot of people are playing with the hn api
