There are a few things here that you might not notice at first, but that provide a delightful experience for the user.

The frontend Datascript database is kept in sync with the backend through websockets, so everything updates in real-time. But if a view shifted when it updated, it would be hard to keep your place when browsing issues or reading comments. To prevent that, we show you in-line notifications when new items are available. When you click on the notifications, the new items pop into view.

We also create a canvas for each new issue, so that the author can sketch out his idea. You can see an example of that here: https://precursorapp.com/issues/554e531f-f7a2-41e2-b01b-3607...

We're experimenting with turning the feature requests into a full-fledged product. If you're interested in having embedded feature requests for your app, please get in touch: daniel@precursorapp.com.
