I think that the idea of having branch-based conversations, visually, makes sense, as that’s what ends up happening in Twitter or Mastodon, and following threads is equally as hard on both of the platforms.
Sadly, this specific implementation has a terrible UX. I would like to see this idea poured into a Mastodon frontend, for example.
I think it can scale better with the conversation. It’s hard to follow conversations in both Reddit and here when it grows too much. The indentation becomes not-so-clear when a thread is longer than the screen’s height.
I love this idea! It makes the comments and threads almost read like notes to be followed up on later. So cool.

Yeah, I agree, it’s a an idea worth exploring even if the execution needs improvement.
On the other hand, how is this different from normal chronologically-ordered and indented comment threads like Reddit or here?

There is no way forward.
It needs a skilled Front-End developer … without that, the idea is dead.
I have neither the time nor the interest to become one, and I don’t have the money to pay people. Also, I see no way to make money from it.
