Right now I have to open up the sidebar to get to the comments. I think it would be nice if the comment icon was present both at the beginning and at the end of a chapter.
If I remember the news isn't the current implimentation of comments a stop gap until they have a more intergrated version?

Maybe have the 3 most upvoted comments of the chapter as preview below the chapter?
The only issue with this is if they are spoiler comments just talking about the shapter, I can see that getting in peoples craws.

Well even if they integrate comments with the reader, I'll still have to get to the comments through some icon or button. In that case this icon/button should exist in 3 places:
  1. The reader, where the current comments button already is
  2. At the top of the chapter, on the same line as where the group name is. Alternatively, it could be on the same line as the # of pages.
  3. At the bottom of the chapter, before the "next chapter" or "return to manga" button.

Well there are many ways to hide

spoilers

.
Maybe you could implement a system where people can mark a comment as spoiler and if enough people have done so, the entire content ist marked this way.

This comment specifically ignores reading chapters normally, without long strip on, but I do agree it would make sense to add the comment button to the top bar. Plenty of space there usually.

In that case could it be an optional config to add it to the bottom of a chapter if in long strip mode?
Since the top nav doesn't unhide when scrolling back up on mobile (and assuming we wouldn't want to change that behavior), I don't think it's unreasonable yeah

A keyboard shortcut could work too 👀 (Well, on pc anyway)

Though maybe that would require a confirmation window in case there aren't any comments yet (or do the threads get generated regardless? if so i suppose it wouldn't need one) /shrug

I have no idea. Well they probably will make comments integrated first, so it'll likely just show that dialog.
