Any plans to add the new Dropbox Comments into the Core API?
In an earlier question I asked shared folders were mentioned as a possible beta item and a signup link was posted for whenever that might happen. Is there anything similar for Dropbox Comments?

We made modern workspace and word processor that use Dropbox as back end. It could easily become collaboration app if Dropbox allows open post/view comment API. This will make Dropbox much greater platform for everyone. Right now, to use collaboration, our users has to switch to Box.
Thanks!

Gregory, we had a great community with
(application for iOS/Android).
But, alas, they are shutting down their web part, as stated on front page.
We all took our content from it, and some of us want to move the content to dropbox.
We're considering creating an application, that would provide viewing experience, similar to this:
but use Dropbox as a backend.
Then comes a question of LIKES and COMMENTS.
Currently we have both in the app. But without web part that would die.
So we figured we could use the comments for those.
But we can't use that unless we have an API for that.
The only other way is to direct user to usual dropbox web page (on phone it can open in app, which is nice).
But that is not as seamless, as it is now:
- double-click the image = like
- tap comment line, enter text, tap Done = comment
Please do consider adding comments API.
Please also consider adding Like feature to Dropbox itself; and an API for that ;)

Yes, that would be helpful if we can get webhook for this.
