What if you add a small set of icons to show "reactions", like the one's at FB?
Yeah those those are fun, but also have their downsides. Basecamp wrote a great article about it: Introducing Boosts: an all-new way to show your support in Basecamp
Their approach is quite interesting too. I prototyped it for WIP, but eventually settled on regular comments.
But it's definitely something we can explore. We could have one type of reaction (๐), multiple types (e.g. ๐ ๐ ๐ข ๐), or allow any emoji like Slack has:
Here's the shortlist used by GitHub
Fyi, the ๐&๐ emojis are used as vote counters and their sums are directly made available from the API
