There's a service worker in the background that does quite a bit of the heavy lifting. So, it can't be a pure JS script.

Thanks for the comment. It was quite insightful.

I don't have any prior moderation experience, so I plan on taking up the task myself initially to get a good grasp of the challenge. That way I can build good tools to make the task easier.

So this is not a problem I've solved yet. But I think the solution would involve a mix of community voting and good sorting algorithms.

But I'll only know the correct solution once I start tackling it.

Yup, there most definitely will be. Hoping to do it within the next few months.

Yup. The code was written with portability in mind. As soon as I get time to test it on Firefox I'll do it.

I haven't thought about that direction yet, although I am aware of discourse and disqus.

Metadocs is pretty young, so I'll think about it.

It's hard to articulate the problem like that.

So I was going through a documentation of an ORM library for another project of mine, and it was kinda poorly written. And I didn't feel like going through the effort required to go to another website and ask questions there. I thought I wish I could ask questions right here.

So I took that feeling and turned it into something tangible.

Lots of problems to be solved yet. Moderating 10 comments / day is very different from moderating 10k/day which in turn is different from millions a day.

I'll initially start by moderating comments myself, (need to create a policy first) and see what to do from there.

If you're asking how the "Highlights" feature works, its using something called text fragments.

When the original text changes then the highlight is dead. Meaning you can still discuss it, but it will no longer be highlighted in the window.

You can read more about text fragments here - https://web.dev/text-fragments/

Yeah, cold start and moderation are two problems I need to solve.

I'm focusing on documentation pages at first hoping to build a commpunity that is helpful. Like pointing out pitfalls and better solutions to existing problems.

Also I used to be a stumbleupon user too. I don't remember the discuss feature, but I remember using it to find hidden gems of the web.

Yeah, I need better onboarding. Will fix.
