January 2024 Recap

Comments and threads

We're pleased to share an update on Phase 2 of the comments plugin. This phase introduces compatibility with dynamic ranges, enhancing the functionality of our documents. Now, each document has an array of threads. Threads include a range that precisely tracks the start and end relative position of the comment highlight. A reducer within the CodeMirror plugin maps these ranges onto view decorations, ensuring a seamless user experience.

This achievement serves as an illustration of the symbiosis between the CodeMirror and Composer extension and plugin architecture. If you'd curious how it works, here's the PR on GitHub.
