What do we think about GitHub discussions?

[avital]

Let's find out!

Hadn’t noticed this even get introduced!

Pro: separate space for longer-form discussion
Con: another space for longer-form discussion

Not sure I had much to add...

[avital]

Yeah we just got added to the beta. I'd like to modify the README to encourage people to have discussions here.

[danielsuo]

How should people think about issues vs discussion? Is it bugs / feature requests vs questions? Or external vs devs? Something else? Not sure how best to use yet, but this is neat!

And the threading feature seems nice

Is is possible to reference PRs or issues? #326

Does this thingum support markdown?

Looks like a yes!

What about GIFs?

[avital]

I guess even with many comments that are collapsed, as long as the answer itself is correct it will always be visible so that's probably fine...

[jheek]

You can lock the conversation right?

[dynamicwebpaige]

Is there some way to block additional comments if a correct answer is posted, so that people don't miss it?

This could also be solved by having the endorsed solution pinned to the top of the question. Sounds like a feature request! 😄
