A little meta, but this design makes it hard to comment on posts! I spent about a minute trying to find the comments section, which is a click away, as opposed to a simple scroll.
- debacle 14y agoMaybe that's the idea.
- dhh 14y agoThat's exactly the idea.

- jpdevereaux 14y agoOnce is probably enough to stop a good chunk of spam and general thoughtless comments, with how powerful first impressions are and all. (@dhh: does it work?)
- jimmyhwang 14y agoI would agree that the comment section is not naturally below the content like most websites. However, at least for me, I'm getting annoyed with loading a full website where the comments take up 80% of the entire page. I'm assuming the point of them "hiding" the comment section is a design choice to reduce loading comments that may not be what the reader wants to read. Maybe a happy medium would be to have a more obvious "click button" that would allow for comments.
- larrys 14y agoIt's important to get in a word from the sponsors, 37 signals. Comments would distract from that because your eye would be drawn to them instead of the ads that appear.
