I've been playing with the API a bit and I fully expected comments to have a score, just like stories do, but that doesn't appear to be the case: https://github.com/HackerNews/API#items<p>It looks like issues are disabled on the Github repo, so I can't easily ask there. Is there a specific reason this has not been made available?<p>https://github.com/HackerNews/API#items
Score of comments is hidden, if it were available in the API someone would write in 30 minutes an extension to show them in the main site.<p>Perhaps they can add a "graycolor" field, that is somewhat related to the score.
From what I remember it's because HN keep the comments score private for the first N days. Not sure whether the Firebase API send an `updated` event once disclosed (doesn't seem so).
