You can always go to a specific note by clicking its timestamp. but yeah the thread reading view is barley usable.
I built it that way because I don't want to use the same "timeline note" component in the thread since it would cause things to get cluttered. but the thread notes still need a lot of the same functionality
I'm hoping that AI can help me out with this a little. maybe Ill be able to tell it "rebuild the thread view to work like twitter" and it will make it look good and work :)
