I think this a really interesting take on social chat/collaboration!

The main reason I closed it was I felt disoriented when I opened the threads. Since it brought me to the end of the chat I had to scroll to the top to catch up (which has some loading lag) so it felt like I had to do too much work to get engaged. Perhaps the opening post could be pinned at least?

The other part I got kind of lost with was the lack of a back button to return to the topics. Using the browser isn’t an issue, but the way the UI is presented it seemed like it would be there but I didn’t see it.

Congrats on a cool project! It’s nice to see some fresh takes on social.

Hey thank you for the honest feedback and taking the time to check it out!

I hadn't thought of pinning the top message once it's been buried but that's not a bad idea. Or just adding a "to the top" button?

I take it you were on mobile? That's good feedback I have to think about.

Thank you!

Second the need for a "Top" button, and a "Latest" button for when you have read partway through a long thread and just want to get to the end now.

I also second the request for a more obvious way to get back to the list of topics (and when the list of topics has become huge, back to the same position in the list where I was). This is desktop. I clicked the Sqwok logo upper left and it seemed to do it but it was a blind guess.

There should be a button that appears when you've scrolled up that says "return to bottom", but agree need the reverse to jump to the top!

Maybe just a simple "Home" link in the global header next to the logo?

I also closed it after trying to scroll to the first message in a couple posts and not finding it after a whole bunch of Ajax loads. I kept looking for a "jump to the top" button.

sorry about that! It's in my list of stories pretty high up so hopefully it'll be there soon. Thanks for checking it out!
