Threads view for relay browsing

[trevarj]

Imagine a Reddit-like layout (medium sized Card) where you only see root notes as a list - call each item a "thread".

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 👍 123  | ⚡ 45  | 💬 8  | 👤 author  | This is the note content...               |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Threads get bumped to the top of the list when a user interacts with it (reply, react, zap), providing an image-board style UX.
Clicking the thread will open the root note in the secondary panel and everything will appear as usual.

When the source is "Following", these Cards will display a list of mini avatars giving a brief look at which or how many of your follows have interacted with this thread.

*imagine the dots are avatar circles in a nice overlapping layout, so when you hover over it fans out

Since the most active threads are pushed to the top, threads view provides a clean and efficient UX for browsing a relay.

Haven't had the chance to vibecode anything, but it seems that NoteList can be modified to do this type of grouping on events and rendering.

Leave thoughts or ideas below!

That’s a very interesting way to interact.

Due to limitations of the Nostr protocol, achieving what you described would be a bit tricky, as the list requires a large amount of highly scattered data. It’s expected that the loading speed would be quite slow, so some compromises in functionality might be necessary.

You might consider forking Jumble, since maintaining two browsing modes would be a bit too much for me, haha.

I imagined it would be a lot of the same data that comes from "Replies" now.

When a user clicks the root note you could do a oneshot subscription to get any missing events from it.

I will consider forking and trying to add something, but don't count on it LOL
