I’ve known about this ❤️ feature on YouTube for a long time, but Today while reading comments, I suddenly thought—DEV.to should have something like this too. 🤣
On YouTube, the channel owner can heart any comment. It would be fun if authors on DEV.to could also ❤️ comments on their articles.
It’s just a small feature, but I think it could be a nice addition. 👀

There's no translation button on YouTube... or is there? As a user of numerous VPN servers - where the interface language is determined by your IP address - I've never seen a comment translation feature 😑
🤔
Ah, I see! DEV already has reactions for comments (❤️like button), but having a special heart 💘 from the author would be a little different.
It would make it easy to see which comments the author especially liked, and I think that could make discussions more fun too 😸
That kind of feature would be a nice addition!
So true!🐻
As a total like fanatic, I’m fully on board! I’ve got this compulsive urge to hit the like button.🤣
Haha, there should be a feature just for Xu Lingfeng 🐼(this emoji)—so that everyone knows Xu Lingfeng liked it!
If custom icons are allowed, I’m reserving a Doraemon like badge for myself! Nobody fight me for it, hahaha.🤣
U deserve it!! 🤣 My english is not good sorry 🤣 This image will be invisible!🤣
Divya, this would actually be such a fun little addition 😊 Sometimes a heart is all you need instead of typing out a whole reply. Small feature, but I'd definitely use it! ❤️
Thanks ☺️❤️
This is actually a nice idea 😄
A like says “good comment.”
A heart from the author says “I saw this and genuinely appreciated it.” ❤️
Tiny feature, but those tiny social signals can make a community feel much more human.
Now we just need DEV.to to add it before this post gets 100 comments asking for it. 😂
Haha Thanks ❤️🐻
woah!! i got a new feature idea for my social media platform!!
🙄 nice one!
Awesome
Yesss, like when the creator hearts a comment on YouTube and you can actually see that it came from the creator 😀
I like also..😃
