Usually whatever I want to say isn't about a specific line of the text, it's about something not in the text or it's about the entire direction of th text as a whole.

@Lokathor Comments can be added to a file directly.

Also, and this is a minor thing but it's a thing, inline comments have worse preview text when you get the notification about them.

Agree though in general notification previews on GitHub are terrible 🤢
