John Olinda The reverse-chronological reply layout is extraordinarily confusing.

🏒 Lucian Marin What's the confusing part? I rather try to solve its issues than go back to the way it was before.

John Olinda Our languages (and as far as I know, every language) present dialogue from top to bottom, left to right, or right to left when written. So when I dive deeper into a thread, I expect the newly visible information to be under what I just clicked on. The way it is presented here seems like a compromise to keep the text field at the top of the screen at all times.

🏒 Lucian Marin I wrote an article on Medium (medium.com/@lucian...) about the new reply system from a different perspective. Everything on the web is in reverse-chronological order from blogs to news sites to social networks to search engines.

John Olinda Alice: Sure that would be great! A double espresso sounds perfect! Bob: A couple hours probably. Want me to run down to the corner and pick something up for you when I go to lunch? Alice: How long is that going to take? Bob: Yeah, Eve called maintenance to see if they can fix it. Alice: Is the coffee machine in the break room broken?
