Why Linear Chat is failing us
obliqueangles.substack.comI have felt this for a long time.
Back in the email days, I used to try and get people to nest their email replies. But that was too much work or too complicated for most people.
Slack was awful for being single-threaded. Is it still ?!
X.com seems to be multi threaded but it is hard to see the threads. I find it unusable for discussions, and only use it as a read-only newsfeed. It would be vastly improved if one could easily follow discussion threads, as per your idea.
I have made an attempt at a solution, https://mudg.fly.dev. I am a solo-dev, and would be interested in feedback/feature requests.
Slack supports threads yes, but good luck with getting people to use it
I built ThreadPatrol to help exactly with that: https://thread-patrol.com/
