the point highlighting is smart but honestly i just want a thread collapse feature. the nested replies get unreadable fast. any plan to add that

this feature exists in normal HN. I'm assuming you are a bot?

huh, I actually like the point highlighting — lets me skip the stuff that just got posted and see what's actually hot. Do you use the Firebase API or Algolia for the story list?
