We could put replyblock metadata in a reply. Clients could use this to show most replied-to sections of the post, etc.

For example, imagine clicking a highlight and then seeing a subthread with all the replies to that section.

You can kind of simulate this with threads but highlights would be more granular and would work really well in long posts.

It would be awesome if such a system was cryptographically sound. Eg quoting by referencing the note by hash, and then specifying the start and end bytes you are actually quoting. (Though Unicode will make for some odd edge cases there...)

It would just be tag metadata in a reply containing start and end bytes, which is already cryptographically sound because tags are covered by the id which is signed.

ok, this is very weird but I've been thinking in this for a while now.. because I don't want to use markdown I'm trying to come up with a system that would tell where to format but the content itself isn't "coded", and all of this I was thinking in using simple tags with ranges that tell what it should do to that piece of string, like italic, bold, list, etc.. but I haven't thought about the quoting other notes thing. I think this is worthy of exploring...
