Description

Sometimes when comments are nested deep it gets hard to track on which level they are.

The Hacker News app HN solves this quite beautifully by shading the different levels.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing a deeply nested comment thread in the Android app and locating the code that renders comment nesting; done means different nesting levels are visibly shaded like the referenced Hacker News example.
