Version 1.22.0 was just released with support for viewing deeply nested comments.

This feature is SUPER cool and something I’ve wanted to do for a while (despite not making a Github issue for it). I can only take credit for the code though, because the design is inspired from Apollo.

There’s two parts to the experience to viewing deeply nested comments:

Load parent comments

Example

When you’re viewing a link to a single comment and the comment is nested greater than three layers, you will see a “Load parent comments” button:

When you tap it, you can continue to load parent comments, all the way back to the root comment. And what’s cool about it is since you’re viewing a single comment chain, we can take advantage of that and forgo the indentation:

Even though the parent chain isn’t indented for a given comment, the comments still have their unique nesting colors!

Continue Thread

When comments get too nested for a single page, you’ll see a “Continue Thread” button:

Tapping that brings you to a new page to continue viewing the thread (notice page title is “Thread” and initial comment is highlighted):

You can keep doing this over and over again for very deeply nested conversations, to the bitter end!

    There’s also a good amount of snow. It’ll build up too.

    I know its a good storm I leave in the morning and I have to push snow out of the way with the door lol

        Che change of seasons is nice, but the cold sucks and it lasts forever. One of my least favorite parts about winter here is the indoor humidity gets ridiculously low, your skin cracks and yeah.

        Oh and when it hurts to breathe outside because it’s so cold, that sucks too

          but no mosquitos. and that is worth every chapped lip in the winter.

          i think kbin loses it on overly-nested comments. this SHOULD be like 9 levels deep.

          Oh yeah, it sucks. I always joked when I lived in an apartment building and my coworkers complained about shoveling, “you don’t have people for that”?
