I love LessWrong. I have better discussions here than anywhere else on the web.
I think I may have a slightly different experience with the site than the modal user because I am not very engaged in the alignment discourse.
I’ve found the discussions on the posts I’ve written to be of unusually high quality, especially the things I’ve written about fertility and polygenic embryo screening.
I concur with other comments about the ability to upvote and agree/disagree with a comment to be a great feature which I use all the time.
My number one requested feature continues to be the ability to see a retention graph on the posts I’ve written, i.e. where do people get bored and stop reading? After technical accuracy my number one goal is to write something interesting and engaging, but I lack any kind of direct feedback mechanism to optimize my writing in that way.

Yeah, I’ve been wanting something like this for a while. It would require capturing more data and processing a bunch of data than we have historically. Also distinguishing between someone skimming up and down a post and actually reading it seems like a kind of finicky algorithm problem that would require a bunch of iteration to get right, which I think makes it a relatively big project.

perhaps showing the user what data they’re creating by incrementally marking the post as read as they scroll down it, and display that to the user?
