I love HN-style footnotes too, but always found it amusing here, since the explicit linking usually back-links to content one inch away that's still visible on the screen.

Should be easy to change. I never liked the heading or the backlink icon.

1. replace the title with a horizontal line
2. replace superscript with `[1]` link
3. replace numbered list with `[1]`-like numbering
4. replace the backlink icon by making the numbering the backlink

I'd be nearly satisfied with just (1) and (4).

Mhh, I see. I think we should do that then.

Found another issue though:

The footnotes title renders pretty big as a root comment for some reason

And the reference to the note and the backreference is indeed really nice. I didn't appreciate that enough even though I implemented that myself in my blog.

We can change the rendering if they're aesthetically unpleasing. I'm fond on HN's footnote fashion too.
