I already planned on adding an option to expand all the comments by default. I recently updated the commenting module [1] to easily allow this. So it will most certainly be shipped with the next update!

Concerning your last thought, I want to keep all the rights on the source code (at least for now, and as long as I'll have the time and the motivation to maintain it), so I won't release it. However, note that several of the components that I used for this project are open source and PRs are welcome on their GitHub pages.

I took note of everything else you said! Thank you for your constructive feedback!

Thanks! Here's a super quick mockup of a style I think would be more legible (Helvetica, since my Mac doesn't have San Francisco): https://i.imgur.com/IvERHL7.png

Less real estate used for timestamp, use dedicated colours for comment and upvote counts, and a larger font and thicker weight for the headline.

I hope you change your mind about opening the code.

I'm assuming 'uptown' is a typo in your mockup?
