What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

  Currently, there is no way to like a comment. If I want to express that I read the comment, I will need to write an answer, but sometimes there isn't much I would say. I think that a "like" or "heart" button will convey the fact that we read the comments and that we appreciated without having to write an answer.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

  It makes sharing love easier.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

  It clears the guilt of my mind of having to give an answer that is not repetitive but, at the same time, acknowledges the existence of a comment and express my gratitude.

    Not a fan of like buttons since they invite just hitting like instead of commenting. I understand that comments sometimes don't need a long answer, but personally I find it more personal to write a quick thank you for someone taking the time to comment an article. Just my opinion.

    Indeed, it would allow for thoughtful gestures and would improve the overall interactions between members of the WorldAnvil community.

    Truth be told, I have only FULLY converted ONE of my friends to actual regular WA use, and most of my articles are privated, so is it likely I'll get to use this option? No. But tjtrewin's suggestion of the FontAwesome icons completely stole my heart. That would be ADORABLE. Have a bunch of coins!

    I really like this idea!   cheeky bonus idea: have the option for worlds to choose which FontAwesome icon to use, so that worlds can customise the interaction to suit the genre of their worldbuilding

    I would think this would be great but I usually just comment a <3 lol. I would love this but idk how challenging it would be to implement. Nevertheless, thanks for suggesting. God bless.
