Reactions on comments #13

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Comments can feel a little dry at times, they feel transactional and clunky. The only way to communicate back-and-forth is by making a new comment, but sometimes I only want to express a quick "thank you!" or "great job!" or "that sounds good", and making an entire comment just for that can be a lot. But I would reach much faster for a reaction if I could 👏 or 🙌 or 👍

Describe the solution you'd like On every comment in a notebook, give github-like reaction options, like 👍 or ❤️ , that I can click on to express something I'm feeling.

Describe alternatives you've considered If I really want to ensure a "thank you" or "I agree" went through, I would just leave a comment. But if I don't want them to get an entire email notification or if I have a lot of other comments to work through, I just leave the thread without doing anything

Additional context n/a

Would also be kinda nice to generalize the "like" concept from a simple heart to different emojis too!

For what it's worth, I think there's also benefit to keeping likes and notebook comments as simple as possible. There's a github/slack/etc. culture of slapping tons of emojis all over everything, which adds some levity and informality to conversations, but it can also get a bit overwhelming.
