I've been working as employee engagement front-end developer and one of the features we were working was newsfeed and new post modal. Initially it was okay, but with new customer requests it became much worse in user experience. We had modal for delivery options, modal for expiration date, modal for the scope of delivery. And all these modals inside new post modal. And it's terrible when you need to close one modal, open another and go...

> i think it's a better apporoach to give the user the option to chose between the modal and the old way of opening the comment section. since still we can access the old method with using the url of the post in daily.dev its not that hard to make it optional
