Is there anything this product has that a tool like codility doesn’t?

I’m using Azure Cosmos DB, nothing fancy there, simple structure where each message references its parent message id

Thanks! This is a totally valid feedback. I agree it can get very messy when showing everything by default. Since we have a button to go to next unread message in a discussion that also expands whatever needs to expanded to show the unread message automatically (but doesn’t make the expansion permanent, so on next page load it will still be collapsed), I think it makes sense to collapse by default

Oh the Apache foundation project? Technically yes, but I guess I never bothered to try using it in its open source form. Given the code complexity, I feel like only Google knew how to build, run and host it successfully :)

oh really, well that's quite sad. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm glad at least they let him start it, although I'm curious what their thinking was at that moment (like "it's gonna "fail" anyway, just let him play with it").

I would so love for this discussion to be in a Wave-like tool. With inline comments instead of adding quotes by hand, in real time and with all the other cool features. Actually, maybe I can try to integrate my tool with HN API. Although looks like the API is read only, but at least it can be useful to track new comments. Wave was so great at features like showing new comments and playback as well!

I can relate, so I wanted to build something that is more organized. Similar to email, but with all the modern features we have in other tools like chats and online forums. I posted a thread about it here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32139750

thank you for checking it out! Yes, current version just uses standard bootstrap elements. Wanted to at least make it look not super ugly :)

Hopefully I can invest more time in design soon if there is enough interest in this idea overall.

Also if anything can be improved in terms of functionality (there is not a lot of it yet, but maybe something obvious can be added/changed), I'm very interested in learning that as well!

Is it just me or the logic in #3 is deeply flawed? I mean who of the author’s heroes knew in advance what their companies were going to become (and thus how “special” they were)?
