Show HN: Slack + Discourse + StackOverflow = EffectiveDiscussions

5 points by KajMagnus ↗ HN
Hi,

I've combined features from Slack (chat software), Discourse (forum software) and StackOverflow (question-answers) into a single piece of software, EffectiveDiscussions.

EffectiveDiscussions solves some problems here at HN that annoy me, and you too I would think:

1) When you return to a topic, how do you find the comments added while you were away?

2) It's hard to find the parent comment, if it's far away. Then, once you've found it, it's hard to find the comment you were reading before, somewhere far away downwards.

3) Downvote because disagree or not?

Feedback/ideas/questions are welcome. It's open source.

Regards, KajMagnus

Looks a bit rough on mobile. But like the idea
Ok, thanks for the feedback. Can I ask, what's the mobile phone screen size? in pixels? What mobile phone? (Android/iPhone/...)
