Apparently, #Discourse has just landed the nested replies support

https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/38888

It can be previewed on meta.discourse.org if you replace `/t/` with `/n/` in the thread url.

For ex.
https://meta.discourse.org/n/im-writing-a-short-documentation-for-admins-of-discourse-forums-ive-helped-set-up-do-i-miss-something-in-it/392246

I think the default theme is too white and makes the thread structure hard to recognize.

But I am looking forward to the future adjustments.

yea we might have lost the plot

@etchedpixels @jollyorc @cstross I absolutely don't want to deny that code can't be art - IOCCC entries are absolutely are, for example. But I feel like the overwhelming majority of code doesn't fall into that category, and so I don't feel like having a machine replace a human in the process of turning a well formed idea into code is an assault on human creativity in the same way that having someone type a plot into an LLM and hit "go" and publish it on Amazon is.

I hate to say I’m desperate, but I haven’t had work in *months*. If anyone’s looking for a #freelance senior #wordpress #developer, please keep me in mind. I do full, custom theme builds, specialize in #accessibility and #semantic code, and am a great communicator about time estimates and budgets! My full portfolio is www.amberweinberg.com

If you don’t have any work, I would appreciate a boost 😊

@nlowell @grammargirl @john As you may know I've been unemployed since October and my unemployment benefits are just about exhausted. If you know anyone who needs help with their website, email setup, or general tech issues, I'd really appreciate a referral or a boost.
I've been in podcasting since 2007 and have 15+ years of professional experience in Linux systems administration and web hosting. Available for freelance work right now.
