With an account, you can revise, criticize, and comment on ideas.
Should I be showing the comment form by default on ideas#show?
Then the autofocus on the textarea would force a scroll basically to the bottom of the page. For sufficiently long ideas, that means scrolling past content the user wants to see.
The ‘Revise…’ button is hidden when the comment form is open. It makes sense to hide it because it doesn’t belong in that context. But once hidden, the user has no quick way to revise an idea. Maybe the first thing they want to do after opening ideas#show is not comment but revise.
As of acb14e3, the revision button is an icon button that lives next to the collapse icon button.
Therefore, the button doesn’t need to be hidden anymore.
That would mean the revise button would be at the top of the idea. But presumably, people would typically want to revise an idea after they finish reading it. Meaning after they reach the bottom.
It could go both ways. Someone may have already read an idea and just wants to revise it, in which case having to scroll to the bottom is cumbersome.
