Wait. When I comment on a Google Doc, that comment seems to be public (unless I make a private copy of the doc, which based on this, I will do more often—this seems like a very useful habit).
I wouldn’t push for significant work on LW to support private comments, notes, etc. to me, LW is primarily about public posts and comments, and that’s where I’d like it to focus.
There may be a middle-ground feature, like comment drafts or the like, which COULD remain private, but is intended and useful for improving the quality and intentionality of published content.
Another thing that would be multi-purpose handy would be “view markup” or “export in compatible format”, which both makes it easier to understand LW, and easier to copy into a private notes repo if that’s your thing, and easier to archive copies of posts you want to keep offline or independent of the site.
