That's a way better comment tracking system than Twitter's garbage thread implementation which Mastodon have cloned.

  I used to do exactly the same thing for Twitter threads, some of which got very much out-of-hand, with hundreds of tweets. But using the chart on a sensible size monitor it was easy to pan around, find corners, follow sub-discussions, and so on. This chart is clickable ... click on a node to open the original post. I'm pleased you like it.

  I've had some remarkably forthright[0] comments in the past[1], so now I just assume that most people will hate it. But personally I find it indispensable for following complex discussions, and finding corners that I hadn't seen. [0] British[2] understatement; [1] They depress me, so I'm not going to look them up[3]; [2] I'm not British, but I've live in Britain for over 40 years and have picked up the habit; [3] Many were deleted after others pointed out how negative they were.

Feedback tends to come from those either mildly, or more, annoyed, or those who are greatly pleased. I can assure you that Chartodon is among the more valuable and compelling features of the Fediverse, and I'm delighted you'd created and contributed it.
