Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

  • Comments are ordered by timestamp (initial post time, not update time)
  • Replies are presented with the quote and the author of the parent comment, which is a doubled information, and overhead display, leading to cognitive overload for such as simple feature

Describe the solution you'd like
A reply should be displayed right below the parent comment with a small shift

Describe alternatives you've considered

A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Research direction

Start by tracing the comment-rendering entry point in the Deck frontend and review the issue description and screenshot. Determine how parent and reply comments are currently displayed; done means replies can be presented directly beneath their parent with a clear visual shift, without relying on duplicated parent quotes.
