You may have noticed that your comments are not visible when you open ZapRead!
Right now, the default is that comments are hidden, and clicking the comments button will reveal them:
In the future, I will add a user setting that if you want, you can have comments expanded by default.
Hopefully this makes browsing ZapRead a little bit easier.
What are your thoughts?
Nice feature. However, there is a bug with counting if you delete your comments, see here, where it (currently) is showing (6) for 1 main post and 4 comments because I deleted one of my comments.
Thanks! I will be adding in a "deleted" spacer for those comments later so that users can see that there was a comment there which was deleted. I'm still not sure if I should include that number in the count. Maybe only if the deleted comment had children?
Depends on how costly it is in terms of resources to the service I guess? I would keep that counter until it become an issue as it helps visually with checking if there were new messages added. But once it become an issue, we can go without it.
I think that comment with the most upvotes should be vissable on start.
Nice idea! I'll add that as a customization option per user perhaps. something like?
- default hidden
- default top X comments
- default show comments
by default it should show the most upvoted comment to not confuse new users with shit-posts & SCAM.
I agree - but we need to be careful that we don't have valid content censored by someone with lots of $$. Basically, if the community disagrees with something voted down, I want to ensure the opportunity for people to bring it back up.
I'm not sure of the best way to implement that yet, but for now I am cautious about being too eager to hide posts.
For now. But I'd be glad to find it customizable in user settings somewhere in the far far future.

I was waiting for this feature. It look much better right now.
but I have still problems with comments - I cant edit my comments nor even delete it from discussion.
"Error: empty comment"
Edit: now it works
Ok, I think I know the problem. It's a user-interface issue that I should do some re-design.
You need to click the button on the far right
Then, when you are done, make sure to click the save button and not the submit button:
The placement for the submit button is pretty bad - it's there for making new comments.
Let me know if this works for you!
Thanks for letting me know! I'll investigate why this is happening right away.
