This is nice, thank you! I must still continue to complain about the pseudo-WYSIWYG comment box, that transforms Markdown into inline rich text. Just straight Markdown (ideally but not necessarily with a preview area) would be much more usable. Perhaps with the option of a proper WYSIWYG rich text editor -- which should, for instance, have the formatting buttons always displayed rather than only when highlighting something, and not transform entered text into formatting -- for those who want that.
Thanks for adding clear outlines and alternate colors to the comments. This is so much better! A couple of other things that need to change in my opinion:
Thanks for all the great work!
While I like the new comment styling boxes, I find the new font much worse than the old font, to the extent that it feels slightly painful to read in it. I'm sure I'll get used to it somewhat but I'd love to go back to the font we had, which I felt was pretty great.
We very likely want to use a sans-serif font, since serifs are super hard to read at these small font sizes. I would be happy for alternate sans-serif recommendations. I like the current one, but am open to changing things.
Right now, all the options on the front page are magic sorting (except Daily, which lists thing in chronological order). Magical sorting means that posts are filtered by by Karma and Recency. If you were posted within the past day or so, your post will appear near the top, after which it'll only stay near the top if it gets upvoted)
Reasons for this were:
We've just pushed an update with a few stylistic tweaks, a few small bug fixes, and most notably, an overhaul on the comment styling.
The intent here was to make it easier to skim comments and keep track of branching threads. This is a bit of an experiment, and the current approach is that we're treating the comment section as conceptually different from the main post section.
This post has moderately deep comment trees that can showcase it in action.
Bugs that we could easily remember fixing:
