@donkulator hey, I can build just about anything using PHP... dont diss my PHP. I'm not saying its the quickest, cleanest, most elegant solution for everything... but PHP can make just about anything... just like you technically can make a large data architecture in JSON files... i did it to prove a point in a 50$ drunk bet.

@awesomeest A good developer *can* build more or less anything with PHP. And a good athlete *can* run a marathon with a dead goat strapped to their back. That doesn't make it a pleasant experience, or an efficient way of travelling 26 miles.

Been looking around ways to improve devrant's user experience a little, Idk whether you guys like it or not.. ...
Show a comment field below a discussion, with rich text and link functionality, to inspire people to craft a detailed answer.
Maybe they will forget to type Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C before hitting send.
So when they do, show a message that "you must be logged in to comment". Use a JS SPA to make sure that there is no way for users to restore their drafted comment. Don't show it after they logged in. When they use their browser's back button, they surely want to exit the application, so make sure to discard any transient data in that case.
