I like it, but I think if it is not a top-level comment it should include whatever it is responding to for context. Maybe some sort of subtle (or not subtle) indicator of what is the best comment vs what the context is.
- tokenadult 16y agoI think if it is not a top-level comment it should include whatever it is responding to for context. I hear you, but what I have done whenever I browse the top-scoring comments view of HN shared here is simply follow the "parent" link that appears on each comment when I want to know what prompted the comment. Sometimes I can tell well enough what the context is just from quoted text in the comment (when participants who comment remember to quote text from comments to which they are replying) or from the title of the submission thread.
