Here is what I have in mind. Sticking to a single Category for the moment, all the subsequent Topics and posts can be viewed as a tree or directed graph with the posts as nodes. Displayed in this way, each node could be labelled with key words, or better yet the key words could be displayed when the node was hovered over. Once a post of interest was identified it could be clicked on to display the entire post. Another gesture could be used to generate a reply feature or create Topic feature at the category level. Has anyone looked into this? Does it run afoul to some general design principles? I’m just learning my way around.
