My WordPress Comments Wishlist
12.11.2020
A built-in commenting system is one of the reasons people reach for WordPress (and often stay there long-term). While I do think having a comment system is compelling (and as big of a fan of building on WordPress as I am), I find the comments system on WordPress quite crusty. It needs some love!...

Render Snarky Comments in Comic Sans
25.6.2019
Hilarious idea by Zach Leatherman. To test if a comment is "snarky" or not, there is an npm package up to the task.

It's not that Martijn Cuppens used User Agent sniffing, CSS hacks, or anything like that to make this quirk div. This is just a plain ol' <div> using the outline property a la:
