Navigating Nested Comments #3

Closed LunaticHacker closed 3 years ago

LunaticHacker commented 3 years ago

Current behavior

we can only view nested comments with one level of depth

Desired behavior

ideally we should be able to navigate N-depth nested comments back and forth

Challenges

Comments are not displayed all at once, so we can't just recursively render everything, we will have to make a "tree-cursor" or something like that to keep track of the state. I'm looking for suggestions on how to implement this properly

Alternatives

Make some custom widgets and render the comments recursively
