Agreed, upvotes are good but comments are gold. It’s not always obvious to see who is reading if they don’t have time for a comment etc

Interesting post and ideas here mate.
I missed reading your other posts on this 100 ideas subject, so have been catching up on the rest of the list at the bottom of this post.

I like the sound of idea #1 Lottery, as well as #4 showcase page, also #45 auto-format buttons, and lastly I really like the #45 developer live-streams to be able to appreciate what Hive is and also for folk like me who don’t know anything to get a sense of why this place is so special for developers.

I’m a fan of practical user experience changes. We need those basic things to make it super easy for anyone to get involved.

Oh and the welcome video idea sounds good ;)
