This looks like an interesting idea. A twist on mailing lists with a web facing interface. One thing I couldn't figure out, are all threads one-on-one? Or is it possible to have threads with many people in them?
A small technical nitpick, it seems cache headers are not set correctly for images and such right now. When you scroll up and down the homepage, the same images get re-requested again and again. Out of curiosity, why are the top items unrendered when scrolling down?
- daave 5y agoRe caching: I had a look into it, and it seems we set the following headers when retrieving user images: > cache-control: public, max-age=3600 So I believe your browser _should_ be caching these.
- brk 5y agoIt looks like you can add to an existing conversation, there is a link on the right-side.
- evnp 5y agoThis is also correct, you can comment on any message in an existing conversation. The same publication rules apply here – this spins off a new one-on-one conversation with the message's author.
- evnp 5y agoYes, all the threads are one-on-one. We've toyed with the idea of group discussions, but haven't landed on what the path forward is there just yet. Thanks for highlighting the image caching issue, we'll look into it! As for the scrolling behavior, we render a sliding-window of rows to keep DOM size down, but the UX does need some work.
