I’ve been thinking about a few features that I think might improve the Babble experience and want to get some feedback.

• Upvotes/likes - These wouldn’t be tied to an algorithm or anything. More of an acknowledgement of a post and a light way to encourage posts that people like
• A “recent replies” view so you can see the latest updates, even if a reply is to a post that’s really deep down
• Possibly hiding replies that are deeper than X levels for the sake of formatting (the recent replies tab and the post page would still show them)
• Different Babbles for other topics - a link to a few other categories at the top of the post feed like “Movies/TV”, “Books”, “Politics”. Although honestly I feel like this probably isn’t necessary for how small the forum is

I’ve also got a backlog of fixes to work on for added polish- thanks to Tabs for pointing most of these things out :-)

Any thoghts on the above ideas?
