Loom style emoji comments

I wonder if loom style emoji comments might be a fun lightweight way to callout interesting times in the timeline

I like this a lot, and it ties back to some very clear data we saw in our user research. Comments are fine, but sometimes you want more of a "laser pointer" where you can draw attention (a) without literal words (b) using visual queues to prioritise things.

We should put this in the same mental bucket as:

• Adding colour/emojis to the console so certain things jump out
• The ability to add a comment with zero text
• Global comment adding (for example through a keyboard shortcut)

I wouldn't put this high in our priority stack, but I do think it's a great idea and part of a broader "How can we make certain moments pop more" exploration that we will eventually need to address.

As I go through our discussion board, I'm stuck by how many of our ideas come back to this "help me make certain moments pop" insight. Definitely worth exploring.
