This is a genuinely brilliant analysis of The Site So Far, and completely proves your point, because I had ZERO idea that the Dune conversation was so detailed and went that far off of my original Note. π
to call this a career milestone is an understatement; iβll probably print this out lmfao!!! Also: all the substantive points here are excellent and correct; I was just chatting with Nick about this the other day. Thanks for caring enough to make the dilemmas crisp, and for the great ideas and the incredible comic; hopefully we can sort this out for yβall soon!!!
and as predicted: Abby loved it lol. First drawing of Kizzy i think?!
I missed all the comments on the Dune thing too and I know i even participated in it at one point. Can you link to the Note? Because that would be helpful, especially since you tell people about it and I want to go look at it!
Tagging seems to be a good workaround. Although I tried that once, but the linking didn't work. Does anyone know if that only works on desktop? I tried it in the app.
Yes, rolled up comments can be clunky, but there's a real estate issue on the Notes pages, and all comments do appear in a full list if you open the Note itself, on it's own.
The blank screen comment box is a problem, even if only because you can't toggle back to be reminded of what you were reacting or responding to, that's what I sometimes find annoying.
If people comment directly to your Note, you'll see that under your bell icon, which is also a workaround for navigating back to the original Note. However, interactions under the Note between other commenters will only be notified under the bell to those people. Functionally, I don't think there's any elegant way around this, because it would effectively need the equivalent of a group chat for every Note, without having a clue who's going to be in the group.
Excellent observations re: Substack Notes! Have you pinged the Substack staff about this? Is there any place online where you/we can post suggestions like this, or point them to excellent suggestion posts like this?
@John Ward, thank you for the well thought out feedback on the topic of commenting. Iβm in agreement with you that this process is not as smooth as it should be yet. Also, Iβm still not sure if youβll see this reply, because when I entered your name, there was no confirmation that I was selecting the correct person. I feel like Iβve seen such a thing elsewhere on Substack, but not here. So do names only pop up when you @ mention someone in an original post?

Totally agree on these points!

Hahah. Nice satire on Notes. It's not very user-friendly!
