  1. Did you use mobile device or a laptop to test the prototype? Laptop, 1080p screen, Firefox.
  2. What did you find unexpected about the prototype? I had no expectations going in.
  3. Which steps in the "Try the Prototype" section did you find difficult to complete? None
  4. What do you like about the prototype? I liked all of it. The last comment, number of comments, and number of participants seems like very very helpful additions. Very clean design, whilst also maintaining Wikipedianess.
  5. What do you wish was different about the prototype? When you click on the latest comment, it automatically highlights that comment. That seems weird. The scrolling would be enough to locate any comment one would have difficulty finding, all the weird bespoke highlighting does is mess up accesibility and themes (it creates a new div for the highlight as opposed to just adding a class to the comment element? Wacky). Also collapsible threads would be nice.
  6. (Optional) Can you imagine this design not working on some pages? If you can, please share links to these pages? It would be very helpful. Would be interesting to see the design with larger, more complex discussions rather than just toy examples.

@Lollipoplollipoplollipop can you please say more about the accessibility implications of the highlighting feature? Asked another way: what becomes more difficult as a result of new divs being added to the page?

Also: thank you for trying the prototype and coming by to share what you think about it!
