Description
Most deliberation platforms (principally Polis) incorporate some kind of voting mechanism for comments. It's unrealistic and counter-productive to expect participants to voice their agreement or disagreement via a text response. Additionally, it's very important that experiments approximate standard Internet functionality.
Our internal demos highlighted the lack of such a mechanism. Would it be possible to add a like/dislike button on participant comments in the Group Chat stage?

Research direction
Start by locating the Group Chat stage and the participant comment UI. Review how comments are rendered and how interaction state is handled, then define the like/dislike behavior for each comment. The work is done when participants can use both controls on participant comments and the selected state is handled consistently.
