Yeah, agree with that. We have some plans for making this happen, though we hadn’t considered doing the same for comments. I will think more about that.
The basic idea was basically to improve the sequence UI and make it much easier for people to create their own private sequences and add posts to it from the triple-dot menu on posts. We could likely do the same for comments, though capturing context there is a bit harder.
Sequences are all well and good, but that’s much, much too high-overhead for what I’m talking about. Just put a little star icon on every post/comment; when you click it, it lights up; and then on your user page (or something) you can view a list of all your “starred” comments and posts. That’s it!
(Also do the sequences thing, why not. Do any number of other things, sure, but definitely do this very simple and easy and intuitive and broadly useful thing!)
Edit: Then maybe the sequence creation UI could make use of this, like maybe there’s a little “your starred posts” list there and you can easily pick from those, to add to your sequence. And maybe the “insert link into post/comment” button in the editor UI could offer you a list of your starred posts/comments (most recent? all?), to insert those links. Sky’s the limit for utility, here…
Yeah, the suggestion in the edit is basically what I was thinking about. Basically that every user starts with a “favorites” sequence that you can add things to from the triple-dot.
