I am commenting here, because I want to save this "And if.." list, because it is beautiful in its simplicity and yet we see it played out over and over again.

  HN also has a "favorite" button you can use to save things for later.

    Where is that favorite button? I have never seen that functionality.
    • vtail 5y ago
      Found it: just click on the comments’s time, and you will see the “favorite” option underneath the link.

      You have to click through to the comment’s page to use it - it’s not on the main page.

      Click on the "n minutes ago" time stamp next to the user name. For example, it's on this page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28880280 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28880280 That's the perma link for that comment. The favoriting action should maybe exist in the thread as well.

    Just fyi that favorites are public.

      ...I did not know this. So thank you for letting us know.

      By default..? Oh dear.

    I also just learned that by visiting one's own profile, one can see which submissions and comments they've upvoted—which is private, unlike favorites[1]. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28880623 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28880623
