It is currently working but not feature complete. Only top level comments are being shown and pagination for comments are not implemented yet. UI layout can be improved as well. Feel free to raise PRs to fix any minor issues but please raise an issue and discuss first if you are planning to implement any major features. Thank you!
I was looking for new opportunities and open to roles and consulting opportunities. Connect with me on LinkedIn and Mastodon (@dsoft@techhub.social).
