For me the OG for threaded discussions is Usenet.
I remember reading threads using a UI like this (not my screenshot but this is the client I used, MacSOUP): http://www.fen-net.de/mac/bilder/macsoup/Thread.gif http://www.fen-net.de/mac/bilder/macsoup/Thread.gif There were also keyboard shortcuts to make navigating efficient.
Having a Usenet gateway seems like it would make a lot more sense from a technical standpoint than an email gateway
- tpmx 3y agoYou're technically correct, but aren't Usenet gateways a bit out of date? I thought Usenet was primarily used for, eh distributing linux isos these days. I made a bidirectional gateway to/from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LysKOM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LysKOM protocol (based on the design of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOM_(BBS) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOM_(BBS)) back when Netscape included a decent Usenet client. It worked surprisingly well since Usenet has robust support for threading.
