+** Why?
+- Current web design does not take into account people not using javascript or using a non-graphical web browser.
+- Some websites present comment in 1 dimension only, not nesting or indenting replies
+- On the websites that support nesting replies, the replies tend to be so nested that navigating them and not losing track of things becomes tedious.
+** Supported Sites
+- Twitter
+- HackerNews
+- Reddit
+- 4chan
+- Vichan boards
+- Discourse forums
+** Example Usage

-   Hi, lainons.
-
-   Yesterday I started learning Tcl and it seems like its paradigm of everything being a string is simply better and
-   easier than everything else I've tried. Why don't more languages do it? And why does it seem like we get less
-   innovative ideas in programming?

- wait, isn't shell like this?
->> 8 months ago
-
-    Yes the principles are similar but Tcl does it in a way that seems closer to lisp to me in a way that i can't really
-    put my finger on. I think it's because most Tcl scripts are made up of function application and passing values
-    returned by those functions around.
-
-    For example this script:
-    tcl
-
-    set x 0
-    set list { 1 2 3 4 5 }
-    while {$x < [llength $list]} {
-     puts [lindex $list $x]
-    } is entirely made up of function application and different quoting conventions.
