Description

Design a good story to allow users to see lots of messages in the past. Think about:

  • Limitations
    • Number of message limit
    • Rendering speed
    • Scroll bar UX
  • Search
  • Pagination
    • Scroll up to reveal more
    • Semantic zooming (group conversations into a dimension)
    • Pop out modal to show more messages

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Web Chat message-history and rendering entry points; no specific files or tests are named in the issue. Compare message limits, rendering speed, scroll-up pagination, search, semantic zooming, and a pop-out modal. Done would require an agreed design for viewing large amounts of past conversation.
