@Illusory another insightful post, and as is often the case I agree with what you are saying! As another long-time user who primarily leverages comments in Fibery (we no longer use Slack, and in fact have basically eliminated internal Emails by setting up Fibery a certain way…), I think there are some even better ways comments can evolve to emulate Slack/Email/DM’s and give a team a full way to communicate around a company’s work and context better than anything out there… So with Threads, I’m also not seeing a real movement forward here, similar to I think what you are saying. We already liberally use commenting in entities to communicate around them, so having the ability to essentially pin those comments to the left panel isn’t particularly useful. I’m basically reiterating what you are saying here: > [@Illusory](#): > > That being said, at first attempt to use it, I believe it requires a lot more setup (mentally determining where and how to apply it) then I’d like for simply communicating with my team. I think this could be solved if Comments evolved into another type of item in Fibery, you could call them “conversations” let’s say. I talked about this here (including a quote from @mdubakov about Fibery replacing Slack): > [@What other tools do you use?](https://community.fibery.io/t/what-other-tools-do-you-use/986/2): > > Interesting that you mention Twist. I think it would be amazing if Fibery could come up with some communication capabilities that resemble how Twist works, I’ve spoken to the team about this in fact. One way to approach this would simply have an Entity called “Talking Point,” “Memo,” or say “Conversation.” You simple create this Entity within your team to start up a convo you might be trying to have unstructured in the likes of Slack, MS Teams, Skype, etc. I have been posting about this so h… I’d really like to see the ability for each comment to also live in Fibery on its own. Have a public ID, the works. We are constantly trying to respond to comments in one entity from comments in another entity - which is very useful because frequently you need to refer back to something in a related context. This feature could help with that, would be amazing if we could get it one day: > [@Ability to quote text across Fibery like in Discourse](https://community.fibery.io/t/ability-to-quote-text-across-fibery-like-in-discourse/3336): > > I keep coming back, at least one time daily, while working in Fibery, to the need to quote text, most often in comments, to use in another part of Fibery. This is most frequently having to do with communicating with my team in Fibery, or creating new content that stems from existing stuff. We have been talking in here in many cases about how nice it would be to simple have the ability to quote like in Discourse, here’s an example of @Oshyan talking about it: Since we don’t expressly have a r… And this is all stuff I really ,100% back that would be a ton of help: > [@Illusory](#): > > Other Feature Suggestions > > - Pinned comments.

And you mentioned mobile as well…realizing the undertaking it is, for commenting and quick communication, it’s a must, so I’ll link to that yet again 🙂 > [@Native Apps (Apple, Android, etc.)](https://community.fibery.io/t/native-apps-apple-android-etc/985): > > Hey guys, I realize the scale of this one, but would be grateful for any insight into when you think this would be coming along? My team does increasingly more on mobile, but we have tested many tools that have Desktop Apps (we use Mac) and the integration with Notifications is very useful. I’ve talked a lot about communicating inside Fibery: …and the advent of Apps would have the added benefit of push notifications, which we use much more than Email notifications. Since I am on the Apple … I’m excited for the direction all this is going and I know the Fibery team is in favor of much of this stuff! --- _[View the full topic](https://community.fibery.io/t/nov-9-2023-thread-view-experimental-grid-view-improvements/5392)._
