First of all, IT IS AWESOME. Thank you! One idea. Is there a way to put a link to thank the text next to reply? Similar to flow. Right now, If I want to thank someone, I need to go to history and find the text and thank the person (even having a confirmation is okay for, to lazy load the revision id to thank). Many thanks! (pun intended).

hi @Ladsgroup – thank you for saying something about this! We agree with you in thinking an easy way to "Thank" someone in-line would be valuable. As for when this might get implemented, I'm not yet sure. Although, if you're curious to know when that date becomes clear, you might subscribe to this Phab task: T249893.
Also, we're glad to hear you're enjoying the tool ^ _ ^
This has been discussed before. Sending thanks requires knowing the revision number. The revision number is not (and cannot reliably) be known until after the edit has been saved. I am hoping that the team will find a solution that lets us have quick access to Thanks despite this obstacle.
I think you mess up things here, Whatamidoing (WMF). Yes, the revision ID of a comment cannot be reliably guessed before actually posting it—but one cannot thank themselves anyway. Guessing the revision ID of an already-posted comment is also tricky, though, especially when a comment has been edited afterwards (like your latest non-Flow reply to me ;))—which edit do I want to thank for? I wanted for the first one, but I had to inspect the diff between the two to decide on this.
In previous discussions, the main question was whether they could sign a message with something like "Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 00:56, 24 October 2020 (UTC) (thank)". Guessing it afterwards works for me, too, although the speed of Who Wrote That? suggests problems on high-traffic pages.
