Problems: 1) Reading direction is different that unusual. Web interface has replies on bottom, not on top. That's inconsistent with the reading direction you have in the usual timeline (where newer tweets are always on top). Not sure if it's worth it. 2) Reply indicator is not clear. People often ask how to see the replies. This would partly be solved by 1), but the question then will be how to see the tweets this tweet replies to, of course. 3) I forgot the rest.

I switched the conversation/reply list in the meantime, to see how it works out.

While the reply indicator might still be kinda-sorta useful in its current form, we know ahead of time whether or not a tweet is a reply to another tweet, so it doesn't need to be so prominent, the current blue is rather obvious (I thought at least) and doesn't blend in well with other themes than Adwaita. Using some transparent grey/black (like we did for tweet bottom borders) should work better.
