Description

Most of the users are reading comments and our expanded and ready-to-use comment box is some distraction for them. I mean those areas make no sense for such a reader

We could collapse everything here and expand on the focus on text entry. The only thing we have to keep from the bottom is subscribe

Just an idea, @paskal @akellbl4 @Mavrin - what do you think?

Research direction
Explore the frontend comment component in the repository, likely under the 'frontend' directory. Identify the comment box component and its current expand behavior. Implement a state to collapse by default and expand on focus, keeping the subscription option visible. Check existing UI patterns for consistency.
