While we're on the topic of HN syntax, I really wish they would add proper blockquotes. Quotes in monospace look ugly, especially on mobile, and quotes that simply start with a “>” aren't visually distinct enough, imo. Just indenting a paragraph when it starts with a “>” would probably be enough.


Not allowing quotes drives users to limit their quoting to a relevant part. I observed other places that users have a hard time to limit themselves and context is always there.
