Facilitate the capacity for adding threaded comments in any app #9

This is good, but would be handled by all the economic network interactions happening in a combined social-economic UI, right? Would raise some interesting design challenges to make it all work smoothly together, and you'd still want comment threads...

Hi! I'm not sure what you mean by "would be handled by all the economic network interactions happening in a combined social-economic UI". I'm imagining this module as complementary but not associated to REA, with the basic functionality to adding comments to any hash in a holochain dna, which includes REA activity as well.

That's the usual way to do it, and these folks https://learndeep.org/ just added such as module to a fork of our older NRP software for their high-school fablab network. They love it.

But we have noticed that every economic network we have worked with is also a social network, and either the social interactions and economic interactions (and also the governance interactions) get integrated together, or the network pays a price in fragmented knowledge, dis-coordination, copying and pasting, etc. (We can tell stories...;-)

That means more than comments on a hash, means threaded conversations about (for example) planning stuff that has not happened yet, thus no hash to comment on yet. And all kinds of other social interactions that unexpectedly turn into economic interactions.
