Definitely liked the new icons for like and comments! 💯

But...can we get a feature where we can like the post from the home feed?

yeap, that's definitely the plan but not sure on the timeline though :) since this brings some questions like how should we treat multiple reactions etc - things that we haven't really thought-through yet. BUT again - that's definitely our plan :)

That way lies darkness, because I will judge these things even more by the titles than I already do.

That's one thing we wanna address somehow before letting people react to articles from the feed. We still want reactions to have certain weight... I don't think we want reactions to mimic Facebook approach - we definitely want users to read through an article first before reacting to it instead of almost automatically hit "like" "like" "like" "like" "like" under every post in the feed.

Above Response Too Long

Can you please put a title in bold for your reply? That way I can give my reaction before reading it.

But seriously, I commend your attention to the finer points of UX and the kinds of relationships it can enable among readers, platforms, and writers.

Becoming yet another Social Media extreme of the shallow, trite, and immediate is still in the cards for dev.to.
