D’awww. Thanks. The site is built by the LessWrong Team (the aesthetic is mostly habryka’s)
Have you seen the comment section at the bottom of the pages here? Have you seen how it works?
It’s gorgeous!
I’ve never seen anything like that before. Someone spent some serious time figuring out that comment system.
I’m interested in what specifically you found good about the comment section (there’s a lot of things going on there). Just the general aesthetic, or were there particular UI interactions that worked well for you?
Yep, I’m primarily talking about the general aesthetic of it all. The whole design not only looks good but also makes the navigation of threads and their replies really easy.
Each thread is a box, and each reply in… each thread is a box inside that original box!
What I really like is how pages with quite a few comments load in a “collapsed” state. And that “collapsed state” looks cool!

(and if you’ve visited it before, maybe clear your cookies to see all the comments collapsed.)
I’ve never seen anything like that before. I love it, and think it’s genius.
Hi, I’m new here, and I share your appreciation for the design of the site and particularly the comments system. It’s amazing!! <3
