Is there a setting that might resolve the issue attached, where really long comment threads get squished into illegibility?

    i’m tempted to make a stupid feature where it turns into an ace attorney fight after about 15 comments of depth.

          After stopping the scroll, animate to minus padding on the left (move tree to the left in its entirety).

          Or animate the margin between these comments to 0 until the end of the comments for the thread

          Or just stop at some percentage of screen estate and work with differing colors.

          Maybe you could use folds right above and below to indicate that the tree is rerooted?

          Spittballing back. Learned a word today!

            Yeah thatd work, but it would probably be pretty hard to do on mobile

              Nope. Way more hacky on the web.

              On mobile it would be encapsulated and invoked on demand, easily supporting 300hz+ :).

              At least I assume it; But I have my very limited experience on web development. Even if there would be an easy way due to javascript/browser compatibility it should be very cumberstone.

              Though if we had a LISP-like language (Scheme) like initially intended we wouldn’t have to worry. Idk who to blame.

              Someone wanted restrictions and this may have been a valid point.

              I can’t judge but for mobile.
