What's the most difficult part about implementing threads? Is it the order of the notes? Why don't we have a client that does threads yet? Or do we? And is anyone going to try a character limit on notes? #asknostr

We should have a comparison framework for all the available clients. Who wants to work on this with me?

Not it!

Help me find someone and I'll split 5% of all the comparison framework related zaps to you.

I definitely prefer threads to super long notes

Shipyard correctly implements threads

whats the url of shipyard? also, is highlighter down?

On a related note, is there a client called “keynote” yet? Seems like the most obvious nostr name

I am not a fan of character limits. Give me the freedom to express my thoughts and feelings the way I choose.

I think shipyard and amethyst implements it.

cht. limit at relay not clients

Threads are hard to do because of a number of reasons, such as no ability to actually query replies to a note, but especially difficult because of how to represent threads in a batch-updated reverse chrono feed that’s asynchronously loaded from various-distant relays. I can send you a whole paper on the UX considerations that I wrote as part of tackling it myself.

It’s hard but not impossible, I haven’t seen any clients do it well yet.

Whats the necessary part of threads? Long notes seem to work fine for me.
