Heyy! Let’s talk about how XWiki comments look like! 
Current look of comments
Comparison to current look of annotations
Issues
- outdated look
- long mouse movement to reach quick actions related to a comment
- small tappable area on mobile for comment actions
New look
Improvement
#1 We add the “View thread” button that collapses or expands the sub-comments of a comment. On collapse, the chevron is pointing to the right, on expand, it is pointing downwards.
#1.1. Ideally, if not too hard to add, this “View thread” button also has the number of sub-comments of the initial comment.
#1.2. If there are 0 sub-comments, the “View thread” button isn’t viewable.
#2 Quotes get a new look, with big quotation marks at the beginning, followed by big italic link-colored text.
#3 Comment actions get added below the comment content. On big screens, these buttons have labels.
Note: Annotations should have their look updated to be cohesive with comments. See the proposal for their look update.
