You could already subscribe to a post's comments on DEV, but the problem was many community members were not aware that you could. We had this feat...

The impetus for developing this out so it's easier to select (The old UI was brutal even if you knew it existed 😵) was that every time folks used it, they were really happy they did. It let's you keep up with ideas you care about. If you come across a conversation you want to pay attention to it's a lot easier to get the stream into your notifications than otherwise.

This is one of the main reasons we made this change! I also had no idea this feature existed!

I actually use this one all the time, but was pleasantly surprised to see the new location just today! It's much more intuitive. Nice work!!

It is nice addition. Can we get bookmark or save to reading list button on post with other icons ? It happens that I have liked the post.I want to save it for future as well. But I don't see option. I have to go to search bar and save click button. It will be easy if save button exists with other icon.
Thanks for doing great work man.

It's actually already there in the reactions area of a post. 😄

Reaction icons for a DEV post

It's the blue icon in the sidebar of a post, or at the bottom if on mobile.

Bookmark a DEV post icon

I'm glad you mentioned it though as perhaps you are not the only one that may not be aware that that's what that icon is.

I only posted the article today because a bunch of pages had to be invalidated from the cache. Glad you were curious about it yesterday though. 😉
