Dear Medium, I wish you’d stop opening comments full screen

It’s frustrating, and I have a couple questions…

Dear Medium,

I don’t like to complain. Well, not about Medium, anyway. lol.

I’d much rather write about how much I love it here, because I do. The formatting is gorgeous. Easy to write. No updating, like in wordpress. The publications, and the people, and so many shades of goodness here.

But PLEASE — Can you stop opening comments full screen?

It seems to be a new thing. And it kind of sucks. Here’s why…

— I open a story and start reading it.
— I highlight a snippet and hit comment.
— Boom! Full screen.

Well — *crap* — because

(a) I didn’t finish reading yet… and
(b) I didn’t clap yet.

So then I have to go BACK to the article so I can finish reading and clap.

Which
(a) is a bit frustrating, and
(b) Might mean two views instead of one.

I don’t know for sure on B. Maybe it doesn’t. Maybe I can view the same article several times and still count as…
