Social reactions

Would be great to have a generic option on lists to enable social reactions and/or commenting. For example:

  • Reactions, eg, thumbs up/down/celebrate/etc on a list item

  • Adding a comment on a list item

  • Editing a comment (if you're the owner)

  • Deleting a comment (if you're the owner)

  • Report a comment (if inappropriate). I guess this goes to a special 'reported comments page' for remediation

  • Ability for a super user to edit or delete a comment

  • Reacting to a comment

  • Replying to a comment

  • Reacting to a reply

  • Removing a reaction (if you created it)

  • Seeing the number of reactions

  • Ability to show comments by default, or optionally use a toggle button with count i.e. "4 comments" - pressing once to show (expand) and second press to hide (contract)

This generic construct would be super useful in loads of places and would be an incredible source of data to feed into an AI model for recommendations.

Other admin options on consideration:

  • Optionally choosing a boolean on the model that defines whether commenting is enabled or not (eg, commentingDisabled=true). Similar to reactions possibly.

  • Specifying whether it's reactions only or reactions+commenting. Is there a use-case for commenting only? Not sure?

  • Enabling 'negative' comments. I imagine HR might only want thumbs up to things like highlights!

  • Attach files
