I have it on good authority that comment collapse is rolling out at some point in the near future.

- teach 12y agoYes, I thought that was one of the touted benefits of moving to the new API.
- meesterdude 12y agothey need a new API to manipulate nested DOM elements in the web browser? Maybe they're doing more like making each comment atomic so you can dig deep into nests, but at the surface adding such a toggle would be a very trivial thing to implement via HTML/JS. I think its ridiculous that something with so much traction gets so little love and people have to create extensions to fix some of the basic site interactions.
- icebraining 12y agoThey needed an API so that third-party tools could stop relying on scraping, and so the HTML could be changed without breaking them.
