- PopeDotNinja 6y agoAh, nice. Thanks.
- heimatau 6y agoI didn't know that. This was very helpful. Been here for a while too (a few years passive read prior to making an account).
- reaperducer 6y agoYes, click the timestamp on the comment and you'll see the full range of actions. Very interesting, after the very active recent discussion about discoverability in user interfaces. It's like HN hired someone from the iOS design team to come up with the notion of "timestamp" = "favorite."
- sosborn 6y agoAnother way to look at it is that "timestamp" = "permalink", which is a fairly common pattern (I'm not trying to imply that it is intuitive, just that it is common). Once you are at the permalink you have a range of options available to you.
- razster 6y agoSame, as a permalink. I'll bookmark the permalink then run it through archive.org using a simple addons of mine, in case HN goes down I will have an archive backup.
- scintill76 6y agoIf it were iOS design, the favorite button would only appear when you rotated your device.
- foxdev 6y agoPutting more stuff under the permalink page linked from a timestamp is a web tradition that's older than HN. I don't know if it's good, but I do notice when I can't click a timestamp. Even Twitter and Facebook abide it.
- lostlogin 6y agoMy god, after a decade. Thank you.
