Content view is already implemented in basically all major chat platforms, you click an image in a chat and can scroll back through other images, or in some cases view all content in the chat in album grid view.
The threaded sub-conversations is a good point, but kind of changes the dynamic of what the group conversation is about. If you're responding to a sub-conversation above, how will other people be notified of that? Should everyone get a notification or just people involved in the sub-conversation?
In my mind that complicates things for users, as you have to find the group chat, then find the sub-conversation to comment on... it's just easier to put messages at the bottom in chronological order.
- thejarren 6y agoI tend to agree, and don't think this would make sense for super small conversations. I'm considering the larger groups, and also a foundational shift that could completely replace the likes of facebook groups. It would no longer be a deeply simple chat, but from my observations the mental gymnastics required to understand large group chats (500+ users) are no longer simple either. I don't think the other methods should entirely disappear, but perhaps there are some use-cases that would be better-suited using this method.
