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?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current comment box HTML structure and CSS in the frontend codebase. Add a CSS class to collapse the text area by default and use JavaScript to expand it on focus. Ensure the subscribe checkbox remains visible. Test on different browsers.
