Ask HN: Why doesn't HN have collapsible comments?
I assume the coding to implement this is beyond trivial, so maybe there is a well thought out reason for not implementing them.
Any ideas what that reason might be? Has PG addressed this in the past?
- mschuster91 13y agoThe HTML that HN emits simply does not allow for anything like collapsible comments.
- maxerickson 13y agoHere's a gist I might be posting too often: https://gist.github.com/maxerickson/8456792 https://gist.github.com/maxerickson/8456792 I always make sure to point out that I cribbed from here a bit: http://alexander.kirk.at/js/hackernews-collapsible-threads.js http://alexander.kirk.at/js/hackernews-collapsible-threads.j... So it's just a little awkward.
