Participatory threads support in the streams api #59

Open fields opened 12 years ago

fields commented 12 years ago

I would like to see a stream api for retrieving new posts in reply threads that the user has posted in, even if those subsequent messages in the thread don't directly mention the user. It would also be nice to have an option for marking a post as "watched", which would be equivalent to having replied without actually having replied.

Totally agree, this is something I would like to see as well. I'll mention the watched threads idea to berg.

This could be a useful alternative approach for App Passant (my annotation-based chess app), since games are implemented using threads. Currently, I'm using the mentions stream, but mentions so far require text, and text means it can't be machine-only. I can also foresee possibly using the "watched" feature.
