How comments are shown
- Same layout for Show HN and Product Hunt, converted to plain text (formatting removed, links kept).
- Times are in your local time; hover a time for the exact date.
- Top-level comments first, oldest first, each followed by its direct replies (indented one level).
- Product Hunt comments by the product's makers are labelled “Maker”.
- Fetched live from the original site (cached ~15 min), never stored here. Long comments are excerpts — the full text and thread are on the original site.
