first of all many thanks for this great community.<br> The question is, is it possible to create a new topic from a comment?</p> <p>In my opinion, discourse often evolves in a different direction than the subject pretends.</p> <p>An example:<br> </p> <div class="ltag__link"> <a href="/likebrain" class="ltag__link__link"> <div class="ltag__link__pic"> <img src="https://media.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Fuser%2Fprofile_image%2F21604%2Fb28659ee-c8ed-4bf3-b953-a40a6b4d5bb9.jpeg" alt="likebrain"> </div> </a> <a href="/likebrain/a-science-fiction-terminal-emulator--2lkl" class="ltag__link__link"> <div class="ltag__link__content"> <h2>A science fiction terminal emulator 🚀</h2> <h3>Ricardo Rivera ・ Nov 28 '18</h3> <div class="ltag__link__taglist"> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#fun</span> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#shell</span> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#javascript</span> <span class="ltag__link__tag">#electron</span> </div> </div> </a> </div> <br> The topic here is the science fiction terminal, but the discussion is more about electron security. <p>I understand the point and would like to discuss further but it is clearly off-topic in this article.</p> <p>The possibility of forking a commentary "graph/tree" to make a new topic would be cool.</p> <p>Am I the only one missing such a thing?</p> devto featurerequest meta Ricardo Rivera Wed, 28 Nov 2018 15:54:23 +0000
