Awesome! This right here is the best example of social media in action -- a suggestion for improvement was made, and the author liked it and implemented it.
This is not social media in action, this is HN in action :-) browsing comments here is more tolerable for authors and makers than practically anywhere else on the internet (basically because the discussion is better), hence why getting feedback here is more likely to happen.
I'll agree that the conversation here tends to be better, but there are still pockets of reddit that have the same high quality and have the same potential for authors. It is always made me happy when this type of interaction would happen.
