Information to convey includes:

  • the text content
  • the author name & icon
  • external links / content
  • emoji
  • reactions
  • relation / reply to prior posts (threads)

There are a limited number of formatting tools available including:

  • left / right justify
  • border width
  • bitmap

There are some open questions:

  • how best indicate the author (emoji or png icon)?
  • should the user posts be right justified?
  • how to link replies - show threads?
  • how to show reactions?
  • other?

Discussion and ideas most welcome
