Voting tells us how many people want something. Comments tell us how we should build it. To ensure your voice carries weight, follow these commenting tips:

The "Use Case" Formula

Instead of commenting "+1" or "I need this too," try using this simple formula:

"I need this because [Problem], and if I had it, I could [Benefit]. Currently, I have to [Workaround]."

Guidelines for Healthy Debate

  • Be Objective: If you disagree with someone’s suggestion, explain the technical or workflow reason why it might not work for everyone.

  • Check for Existing Answers: Sometimes a team member has already answered a question in the thread—give it a quick scroll before posting!
