Idea for a new tool
Drop a Mastodon or HN URL on a window, and it constructs a more dense 2D graphical layout for a thread.
- Separate card for each comment.
- Ideal readable width per card.
- Short arrows from comments to their replies.
- Keyboard shortcuts to pan along semantically to sibling or child.
Side-effects:
- It needs the network, obviously.
- Zero contact with file-system.
Inspirations:
- Colin Wright's Chartodon
- S-ol Bekic's FediDag tool (example)
