Add an "edit" menu or direct link to the connected Discussion topic

[expikr]

The original Discussions page has a hamburger menu for basic actions such as editing and deleting:

Whereas giscus is missing the UI entirely:

Would it be feasible to update the UI to reflect how it works on GitHub? Or as a stopgap measure, there could just be a direct link to the connected Discussions section on GitHub, which also have the benefit of making it quicker to moderate the section as a site owner.

The timestamp is a link to the comment on GitHub. The "X comments/Y reactions" is also a link to the discussion on GitHub.

The pop-up menu is #36.

Oh, interesting. I think it would be a bit more discoverable if the "powered by giscus" line have something visibly clickable appended to it, like "View Discussion on GitHub" or something along those lines.

And perhaps before #36 is implemented, there could be a placeholder menu that just says "Edit on GitHub" when clicked.

Yeah, I also couldn't find any direct link to The GitHub discussion easily.
It would be great for people who don't want to authenticate their accounts, maybe a gray button beside sign with GitHub, “comment on the discussion manually”

I'm curious how feasible it would be to have a similar link to each comment on the blog page. Maybe the URL path could partially match the corresponding link to take you directly to the Github discussion page, but it might be nice to allow for link sharing directly to the blog post if there's an interesting comment buried in the thread; the experience isn't quite as nice when you don't have the blog to check out on the same page in Github.
