treeverse

I've been maintaining a browser extension[1] that has used various versions of the unofficial API over a period of six years -- from literally navigating the site as the user and grabbing HTML, to the various incarnations of JSON and HTML hybrid (SSR) APIs that their web and mobile clients have used internally over that time. Believe me, I would LOVE if the official API supported threads. I have tried several times to make it work, but the official APIs are stuck in a circa-2012 idea of how Twitter works. Replies just aren't a thing to it. [1] https://github.com/paulgb/Treeverse

It's not quite what you're asking for, but Treeverse represents the conversation (including replies) as a tree https://github.com/paulgb/Treeverse (disclosure: I wrote it)

It's not quite the same as this visual with columns, but I built a tree-based conversation viewer for Twitter discussions that uses a top-down representation of the tree: https://github.com/paulgb/Treeverse/blob/master/README.md The design used in OP is clever, I didn't think to try a radial tree.

A free-time project of mine has been building a browser extension[1] for navigating conversations. Quote-tweets are hard because they turn the conversation into a DAG instead of a tree. Would love to know if you have any thoughts on solving this. [1] https://github.com/paulgb/Treeverse

After wishing for years for a better way to get an overview of Twitter conversations, I decided to give it a go myself. One problem is that the Twitter API is very limiting, so I built an extension that sits on top of the existing UI. It's been a fun toy project. I'm not a UI designer by trade so a lot of this was new to me. GitHub: https://github.com/paulgb/Treeverse/ Chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/treeverse/aahmjdad...

Shameless plug: I wrote a Chrome extension to provide a tree view: https://github.com/paulgb/Treeverse/ (It's more a visualization style than a reddit-like threaded conversation interface, but it might accomplish what you are referring to)
