For orientation, we could just include a reply-snippet, at the top, like Jumble does. That's much simpler than threading replies, and doesn't require an additional kind. Could just put it in an optional "context" tag, or something, like 9802 highlights do.
People just want some indication that something is in reference or response to something else.
They can then click on that snippet and go to that context-event, if they want.
I guess that reply-snippet could also be an "e" tag, but that would lead lazy developers to thread everything and then people would quickly hate the hell-threads in their notifications.
the whole thing of mentioning every npub in the path back up to the OP is kinda crazy
a subscription that looks for e tags to the OPs would work the same way also, without being a hellthread.
idk which empty skull came up with the idea and then how the fuck it became convention but it needs to stop
I guess I need some way to add or remove a "p" tag, when replying, to sort of drag someone into a conversation, or remove someone. I could display who was all included in a list, and have "+" and "-" button.
Again, the Jumble UI for this is nice.
I don't want to do e-tags. The temptation to thread it would be irresistable.
It would quickly end up kind 1 in the notifications tab.
lol
nothing wrong with direct reply and OP references, otherwise it's floating in space with no context
email you quote, do you want to replicate that pattern?
I'd rather have nothing. I know how bad most Nostr developers are and they would burn the concept, and then the users would demand we remove it.
op and direct reply are fine, IMO, and mentioning the npub of the direct reply but mentioning the whole path to the op is retarded
normal threaded discussions only link the post into the thread and trigger a notification for the user who was replied to. not the whole damn path up the tree
the structure is a doubly linked list/tree, that's reasonable
the mention of the next user up should be default off but a button "notify of reply"
The whole point is that the discussion is not threaded. It's air replies.
ah, so instead of creating these tags the reply button is the quote button
makes sense. would also be kinda cool in that the relay hints are in there as well
+1 ACK on this concept. approved.
this is like email replies except more compact because the reader can fetch the reference
it would mean that seeing other than the single path up would be hard to do as well. you'd click on what you reply to, if it's a reply, you click on that, etc etc ad lib to fade
Although, you could get around that with a filter, by saying,
đ Show me the chain.
That's not a true thread, but would display them in order.
He already has quotes for context in the spec. I didn't see that. That's okay. Yeah, quote-replies, no threads.
I'm not going to do any references or replies, at all. I can already see y'all turning my nice, clean UI into spaghetti.
Yeah, I constantly see notifications for side-threads I'm not in.
