Collaboration is heavily dependent on the commenting system. As I see now, Fibery is not yet very focused on collaboration, more on data structure. There are in a few days already a number of my posts about UX and end user workflow issues. The comment field is currently not a database entity type w…

Comments in entities is a table in a database (and a separate Entity Type) under the hood, but it is not exposed. We are considering making it first-class entity in fact.

What do you mean by “first-class entity”. Is there any update on this one? There could be huge potential in exposing the comments database. Or even better, allowing admins to create and link their own comments data base. Potential: Linking comments to LinkedIn API and chat with prospects directly…

Is there any update on this? I find the inline/richtext “resolution-comments” rather useful even if they are currently only available for entities’ description: However it would be nice to expose those separately, akin to displaying regular comment counts.

What I expect, is that at some point the fibery team will build a new Comments feature on top of the HighLights feature, since the highlights are already first-class entities.

Would still love to see more progress on making Comments “first class” - or behave like the rest of entities in Fibery - some of my suggestions, any of which would be great to have: Ability to quote text across Fibery like in Discourse [image] Refer to Comments, and Public ID’s fo…

Is there any way to see a feed of all comments and the entity they’re related to? Afaik, only rich text has this special treatment. The fields as I have explained to my users: rich text is for evergreen, comments are transient. If you need something to be always present and searchable, it should be…

Yes you are hitting on some of the issues my users have as well - see my post above, many related requests that would bring comments more to the forefront - we use them extensively. Might add that having them smaller in the UI, like in a lot of other apps, would also I think improve the aesthetic a…
